Wild Cat Experience Tour

Summary: My recent tour at Enikwa Wildlife Awareness started half an hour late due to a lack of other visitors (mid-week). However, the experience itself was very educational, particularly the incredibly close encounters with a leopard and cheetah.

Summary: Absolutely unbelievable experience.. the staff are amazing and so invested in the projects. The sightings were beyond what I could hope for and all the animals are so relaxed Highly highly recommend. Staff get 100% and more

Summary: I found the place by chance in a brochure, and it turned out to be one of the coolest experiences of the trip! We saw a lot of beautiful and well cared for felines, as well as other very interesting animals. They also have a hospital for rehabilitation and care of rescued animals. I highly recommend the visit!

Summary: If you are interested in conservation of these beautiful animal then this one hour walking tour is definitely the thing for you. It’s not a zoo and these are rescued beautiful cats. You even get to walk around with the Corvallis but no touching. This Cats have come from zoos. Private homes etc and the lions rescued from a trophy hunting farm. Well worth the visit and support the cause also.

Summary: We stayed overnight here in the Lion Lodge and had a date night meal. First and foremost this particular part of our experience was brilliant. Staying so close to the lions you can feel the reverberations when they start roaring at 0400. Not for the faint of heart! The cabin was rustic comfort with all that we needed for our stay! Hot shower and comfortable bed. Beautiful petals on the bed! Our extremely attentive staff were Davidson and his lovely wife who cooked and served our dinner and breakfast. These two are golden! They really looked after us and made our whole stay! Thankyou so much. We then booked a wild cat experience that was with Boniwa that exceeded our expectations- getting so close to the cheetahs and her knowing where to find the leopard in the morning heat. The tour was so informative and whilst it’s always sad to see wild animals captive you understood why they were there and the efforts the park go to ensuring where possible that those animals that can be are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. Loved e dry minute and the entire team there are so helpful and knowledgeable! Even had to get a jump start when our battery went flat from the wonderful maintenance team! Thanks guys! Must visit!

Summary: Our guide Boniwe was very knowledgeable and it was an interesting tour. It took about an hour and it was great to hear about the work Tenikwa does. Highly recommended.

Summary: We went to Birds of Eden and what a lovely experience. Thete is a winding wooden walkway with railings to make it easy to walk the 2.5km to the end. Plan to walk slow to see all the birds. We went late afternoon with feeding time and saw a lot of birds. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Midway is also a cafe for a quick drink or snack but plan to be early as they close at 16h00.

Summary: Absolutely loved my time at Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre! Our guide, Boniwe, is a total star – super knowledgeable and has such a genuine bond with the animals. These creatures are as well-kept and as healthy as they can possibly be. Plus, the centre is doing its thing as a non-profit, focused on rescuing animals. Both the animal spaces and our areas are so clean and inviting. When you take a tour here, you're backing their awesome rescue mission. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area. It's all about good vibes and supporting a fab cause!

Summary: Keen to have an experience of wildlife and help support a wildlife welfare project, we visited this place off the beaten track. The staff were very friendly and helpful, our guide on the tour knowledgeable and personable. His connection with the leopard, servals, wild cat and lions was particularly strong and they clearly responded well to him. The animals are in beautiful condition and very content. A very worthwhile experience in support of an excellent project.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Tenikwa! It's very low key with a caring and knowledgeable staff. We saw some beautiful cats close up and learned so much from our guide. Don't miss this lovely experience and please donate to their cause, caring for these amazing animals who were injured in the wild.
