Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary  Admire the majestic big cats of the world – Lions, Tigers, Puma, Leopards and Jaguars. The wild animals - at their forever home – Jukani, have been rescued or re homed from facilities that could no longer care for them. At Jukani they can now explore their large natural habitats, designed and built around each individual animal’s needs. They are free of exploitation and the stress caused by human interaction. On your 80-minute walking safari with one of our knowledgeable guides you will also find Raccoons, a Honey badger, Caracal, an African polecat, some Zebra and Springbok and predators such as the Spotted Hyena. You will find hope in #TrueSanctuaries and be made aware of the plight of these animals – realising that through lifestyle changes and choices you can contribute to a chance at a better future for them. Please refrain from visiting wildlife facilities where you are able to cuddle cubs, walk with or cuddle apex cats, and dont support facilities promoting feeding tours. Wild animals should not have to preform for their food, neither should they be subjected to being petted, hugged and harrassed all day for human entertainment. Wild animals are #NotEntertainers.
