LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary launches enriching animal welfare guest experiences

LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary was established to provide a conducive permanent home for big cats and other animal species rescued from horrible conditions, exploitative practices and abuse for human amusement and profit.

To break the vicious cycle of abuse and animal cruelty, pioneers of this institution believe that a change in human behaviour is needed to achieve this vision of a world where people treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.

LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary provides enriching learning experiences where everyone can gain in-depth understanding and appreciation of animal welfare issues. Through different educational programmes, this reputable organisation seeks to empower people to advocate for animal welfare and environmental sustainability. From the design of the enclosures, coordination of animal caretaking activities through to the daily management of the sanctuary as well as the sanctuary support services, there is so much to learn about animal welfare principles, practices, and management in a true and functional sanctuary.

This unique organisation strives to create the best learning platform based on a framework of  behavioural change and a real-life learning approach that is supported by enriching experiences. Emphasis is placed on learning by unlearning in the service of One Welfare which is a complimentary nexus of animal, human and environmental welfare. Visitors can look forward to exciting offerings such as ethical tourism and environmental education, which are supported by tailored experiential learning activities.

To pave the way for a future generation that will respect and advocate for animal welfare and environmental stewardship, there is also an exciting school programme on offer. This programme is aimed at creating and providing enriching learning experiences for children at basic education levels. The programme applies innovative learning techniques to inspire and stimulate the creative abilities of the learners as they immerse themselves in animal welfare and environmental topics through tailored activities and themes.

To experience the aspects mentioned above, you can book an  animal welfare package that includes a 2-days ethical tourism programme and an animal welfare and nutrition programme, aimed at raising awareness, educating, empowering and inspiring a kinder future. Everyone is welcome!
