The Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

At the Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre it is our aim to rehabilitate and return all animals back into the wild.

The Shamwari Rehabilitation Centre is amongst the best in Southern Africa and is fully registered to provide veterinary care to young, abandoned, orphaned or injured animals. On arrival you will be met by a member of this caring team who will show you the facilities and explain what it is that they do. During the recovery phase; “patients” are kept in custom built bomas. Provided there are patients in care, an opportunity to meet them should arise during your visit. The animal rehabilitation centre operates on donations only; therefore no entrance fee is requested, but a monetary donation will be much appreciated.

A visit to Animal Rehabilitation Centre includes

• The Animal Hospital to see the facilities and view any current patients,
• The animal bomas to view any larger patients
• A brief “behind the scenes” look at where the popular series “Shamwari - a Wild Life” was filmed and edited at the film unit.

The Shamwari Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre was established after Shamwari identified a pressing need in the Eastern Cape for such facilities to improve local conservation and wildlife efforts.
