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!

It was a lovely stop coming from Gaansbai on our way to Stollenbosch. It was interesting to hear all the back stories of the cats living at the sanctuary and the better life they have moving forward. - Kari
An amazing place that demonstrates true care for its animals. The guides are very knowledgeable imparting their knowledge of each animal enabling us to get a true insight to the awful lives that led them to be at Panthera. Well recommended. - Deborah
Our visit to Panthera was wonderful! Besides the incredible opportunity to view such beautiful animals, the knowledgeable staff shared so much information about the big business of animal "rescue" and how they do things differently. We learned a lot. The respect shown to each animal in their care is incredible. I would highly recommend a visit to this inspiring place. - Jessica
WE EXPERIENCE A LOT AND THE GUIDE (GIRL WITH BLOND HAIR) TOLD US MANY MANY THINGS ABOUT THE CATS. SHE SHARED ALL THE INFORMATION ON A DELIGHTFUL HAPPY WAY. WE WERE HAPPY THAT WE COME TO VISIT THE SANCTUARY - Jannette
Panthera Africa is a true sanctuary filled with a magnificent pride of big cats and wonderful people. We can learn so much during the educational visit about the species and the particular story of each animal. After years of suffering in places such as farms designed for lion's bones trade, they finally found their happier ever after at Panthera Africa ? I'll be back to visit them again! - Aurélia
