The organisation has been involved in wildlife conservation and rescue since 2016, with a specific focus on Mpumalanga and assistance from the Wildlife Management Department of the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency.

The organisation covers everything from emergency wildlife response to species-recovery breeding programmes, including the ground hornbill, Sharpe’s grysbok and black-footed cat – essentially any intervention needed to protect and save wildlife.

Safari experiences up for grabs

The auction has been active since September 6 and will continue until October 4. Prizes include an exclusive safari experience for two people valued at R100 000, an exclusive veterinary experience valued at R25 000 for two people, and a safari getaway valued at R24 000.
