One of Panthera Africa’s main purposes is to be an educational platform where we create awareness about the conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment plays a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible. We are a true sanctuary where no cub petting, breeding or trading takes place.
On our educational visits you have the chance of capturing photographs of the big cats in their beautiful Natural homes, and get to know about their unique stories, in addition to the important facts about the species and their different situations. We strongly believe in the importance of educating you about animal welfare and conservation, so together with a staff member you will be taken for a lovely walk whilst admiring the beautiful cats.
We ask you kindly to arrive 15 minutes prior to your visit.
We look forward to sharing our dream with you, and to introducing you to our four legged friends!

Visiting Panthera was an incredible experience, very sad but also heartwarming to see how genuinely these animals are loved and mostly respected. The facility is amazing and great care has been taken to keep the cats happy and healthy. Katinka was warm, kind, knowledgeable and genuine. Our family enjoyed it very much and will highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! - Charlene
Panthera is well worth visiting. While not large, they do an amazing job of educating you about the history of the animals that live there and how they care for them. They were incredibly flexible about our booking (since the forecast was rainy). The animals are well cared for and our guide was very knowledgeable. A good glimpse into how these cats were exploited prior to coming to live at Panthera. - Natalie
What a great experience and one that I have highly recommended to my friends. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and interactive, a super day out. - Anita
Panthera Africa does amazing work, and they are ethical and focused on the wellbeing of the animals - which is important and different to many other parks and sanctuaries. It is really education for the children as well. - Elsabe
We enjoyed learning each of the animals touching stories that the guide so passionately explained to us. It was really something that touched our hearts. Thank you for good work that you all do. Will definitely recommend others to see what Panthera is all about. - Zenat
