Tenikwa  Wildlife Awareness  & Rehabilitation Centre lies less that a 10 minute drive from Moon Shine. 

Tenikwa grew from humble beginnings in 2002 when the owners started rehabilitating injured birds in a wooden shed behind their house. The wildlife rehabilitation work that is conducted at Tenikwa today is primarily funded out of gate-takings to the Awareness Centre where Tenikwa offers various programs to the public to see non–releasable indigenous wild cats of Southern Africa and other wildlife often caught up in the human-wildlife conflict.

Expect to see Cheetah, African Wild Cat, Caracal, Serval, Leopard, Lion, Meerkats and Penguins.

As a Fair Trade Certified establishment, Tenikwa adheres to strict safety protocols and practices responsible tourism. They ensure that all tours are educational and enriching.

• The fact that what visitors see funds a far greater project in conservation and rehabilitation.
