Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
This South African wildlife rehabilitation centre in Limpopo aims to create awareness around the declining numbers of wildlife species in Africa. Nestled at the foot of the Drakensberg escarpment, this centre acts as a haven for Lion, Leopard, Serval, Lynx, Honey Badger, Wild Dogs, Eagles and Vultures.
The centre cares for animals that have been poisoned or injured and nurse them back to health before releasing them back into the wild. Should an animal not recover well enough to return to its home in the wild, Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre continues to care for them and are typically used in educational talks.
When visiting the centre, safari-goers are taken on a tour of the centre, which take place daily at 09:30 and again at 15:00, which includes an introduction to all the species. The 2.5 hour tour may include an encounter with one of the resident species.
