I had lots of questions before my trip to Tenikwa about thier work, the animals' welfare and the public's place in all of that. I was relived to meet so many passionate staff who care so much about the animals and those in the wild and to see such valuable work going on, with lots Of happy animals. We did... More

We went here so my husband could do a cheetah walk for his birthday, which he said was fantastic we all did the wild cat experience where we went in with cheetah, serval, african wild cats and got very close to a leopard, we travelled from Cape Town it was a very long day so would recommend staying over near...

I have mixed feelings about this place. Without doubt you will have an unrivalled opportunity to get close to some very special cats such as the cheetahs and a few others. On the other hand I'm not a fan of caged animals and whilst the enclosures are quite spacious and natural in appearance I'd still rather that these animals were... More

What a fabulous place. Walking in with the Cheetahs and the Servals was the highlight of our SA trip. Such stunningly beautiful animals. My legs turned to jelly when we got close to the Cheetah, just overwhelming. Our guide was excellent, Sizwe you are a true star. Keep up the good work. More

We visited to Tenikwa on Christmas Day and what a memorable occasion. We started off with the tour of all the cats in the centre from the smallest African wildcat to the leopard. You can enter most of the enclosures (the exception being the leopard) and be up close to every one of them. That part was so interesting and... More

My husband and I did the Wild Cat combo which includes seeing and learning about all the cats currently at Tenikwa and then the walk with the Cheetahs. This was a highlight of our trip. The Cheetah's really enjoy getting out and walking and for the most part will stay with you on the walk. There were a couple of... More

This was my first visit to Tenikwa and was not disappointed. Good sized enclosures for the cats, being able to walk inside with them and of course the cherry on the top actually walking with the cheetahs at sunset in the forest. I took clients there and their comment was that it was so much better than the cat sanctuary... More

My girlfriend's birthday present. We paid for a day with the staff and cats of Tenikwa and didn't regret it. We met cheetahs, servils, caracals, a leopard and lots of other creatures... up close and personal. I raced a cheetah or two (guess who won...) and even has my face licked by one of them. We had great food and... More

Up close and personal with big cats and many endangered species. Brian the guide was very knowledgeable and professional. There are not many places where one can walk 'in the wild' with these beautiful animals. Great for photographers too! Definitely GO! More
