Lion and Cheetah Sanctuary was established as a safe haven for animals who cannot be released back into the wild and now have a place to call home and live out the rest of their lives in a peaceful and happy environment. Lion and Cheetah Sanctuary will be their forever home. Our Sanctuary is currently home to Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenas, Servals, Antelopes and Horses.
It is our intention to set up a release program, where our animals will be released into the various reserves around South Africa, ensuring the survival of certain species and ensuring there is no interbreeding. So, in the near future, volunteers will have the opportunity to spend time with animals that are being rehabilitated for release at various projects and will be able to help us care for and work hands-on with the animals at our facility.
Lion and Cheetah Sanctuary is conveniently located just one hours drive from Johannesburg and only 30 minutes from Pretoria. The sanctuary borders Dinokeng Game Reserve which is home to Africa’s Big 5. Where else can you work with big cats in a sanctuary and then go for a game drive and have the opportunity to see Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and buffalo in the wild.
We are situated on a conservancy which stretches over 800 hectares of unspoilt bushveld and boasts a variety of antelope species, giraffe, wildebeest and zebra. It is also home to 100’s of different bird species. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not go on a nature hike to view the animals in their natural habitat.
