Cape Town's wildlife sanctuaries and their environmental initiatives

Here are some of the city's wildlife sanctuaries that are massively inspiring in their efforts of conservation:

In 1999, Francois Hugo founded Seal Alert to rescue and rehabilitate injured seals. Despite challenges and little support, his dedication never wavered. Following his passing, former seal rescuer Kim Krynauw took over and renamed the centre the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre.

With a water enclosure and specialised medical care available, the centre ensures the seals’ well-being. Young seals stay for a year, while older ones heal from injuries. HBSRC plays a vital role in protecting the Cape Fur Seal, a protected species. Their work embodies hope and carries forward Francois Hugo’s legacy.Picture: Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre / FacebookThe Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness Centre is a place where you can easily connect with Africa’s incredible wildlife and bird species.

From preschoolers to older groups, Giraffe House prioritises education and offers informative wildlife conservation programmes tailored to each group.Picture: Giraffe House Wildlife Awareness CentrePanthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary is a haven for majestic big cats located in South Africa. Dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and protection of these magnificent animals, Panthera Africa provides a safe and enriching environment for lions, leopards, cheetahs and other big cat species.
