 THE
PROJECT:
This Project assists the Animal
Rehabilitation Centre between Port Elizabeth and Jeffreys Bay with
the daily care and funding to feed and care for stranded and injured
animals. This project has a true need for
volunteers to support with time and funding. They have introduced a
breeding program for endangered species like, Cheetah, Blue Duiker, Servels and many other species to follow with the support from
volunteers and sponsors.
 ANIMALS:
The Centre boasts in excess of forty species of
wildlife. Cheetah, Giraffe, Zebra, Impala, Blesbok, Duiker,
Bushbuck, Monkeys, etc. and a huge selection of bird species. Some
animals that cant be free roaming are kept in enclosures, most of
the larger animals roam freely on the reserve.
ACCOMMODATION:
The lodges are
located in the middle of the game area, surrounded by a variety of
animals. When you wake in the morning you are able to see giraffe,
tortoises, antelope, wildebeests, zebras, aardvark, springbok,
cheetah, birds and of course a beautiful sunrise over the reserve.
Could you morning start any better? Wait till you have breakfast in
the fresh clear morning air. The lodge is
completely made out of wood, which gives you the ‘back to nature’
feeling.
