Jukani is the forever home of animals rescued from a number of different situations, from being raised as pets; to wildlife facilities that could or would no longer manage the animals. The focus is on conservation education and more specifically - the plight of predators both in captivity and in the wild all over the world. The Sanctuary is home to Big Cats such as Lion, Bengal and Siberian Tiger, Jaguar & Leopard. There are Cheetah, Puma, Caracal and Serval together with rarer species such as White Lions, White Bengal Tiger and Black Leopard. The sanctuary is also home to other predators such as the Spotted Hyena & Black Backed Jackal. There is a Honey Badger and an African Pole Cat some Zebras, Springbok and Raccoons. Our experienced and knowledgeable guides will take you on a tour of the sanctuary and introduce you to its inhabitants whilst offering a wealth of interesting and fascinating information regarding each of the species.
A visit to Jukani - a sanctuary where the animal’s emotional and physical needs are put first and foremost - is not just about viewing big cats. You will also be made aware of the conservation status of these animals. You will learn why human-wild-animal interaction and petting is so detrimental to wild animals, even those born in captivity. The sanctuary has a strict you may look, but “Hands-Off” - do not touch and a no-breeding policy.
The meaning of sanctuary is: a place of refuge. This rings true at Jukani, where the wildlife is treated with respect and protected from hunting, petting, huminising and other dangers. Here the animals find themselves in safe and natural surroundings.
The South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance, a non-profit organisation (PBO No. 200/060 667/08) is the sole custodian of all the animals at Jukani, and therefore their future is secured. Jukani is funded by means of responsible eco-tourism and strives to achieve an effective balance between conservation and economic reality. A restaurant and curio shop is also available together with disabled access and facilities.
