The Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre was established in 1991 and focuses on rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals. The aim is to release the animals back to their home in the wild. Sometimes this is not possible due to the background of that certain animal. In that case it will spend it’s life at Moholoholo as a permanent resident.
Visitors are able to get an ‘up close and personal’ experience of these incredible creatures, while the staff of the Centre practically demonstrates to the public the problems that wildlife is facing and shares information about each animal. Moholoholo receives 1 000 school children and adults on average per month. They visit the Rehabilitation Centre where they attend a guided tour during which they hear about these problems and the challenges associated with conservation and habitat protection.
Moholoholo often receives calls to rescue animals such as baby rhinos that have been abandoned by their mothers, or leopards, cheetah and hyena that have been hit by cars, caught in snares or poisoned. The costs involved in caring for these animals are absorbed by Moholoholo in an attempt to convey the message that it is not necessary to shoot such animals, but that they can, in fact, recover after treatment and be relocated and set free in a safe area.
You can visit the Centre from Monday till Saturday. They offer two tours (duration is between 1,5 – 2 hours), the first one starts at 9.30 AM and the second one at 15.00. Click here to book.
