My African Nature Story...

Did You Know ?   Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in South Africa, the country which recently hosted the FIFA World-Cup 2010 successfully well known for its vuvuzela trumpets.

The centre has various amazing tourism attraction. Welcome all and experience the beautiful natural environment in Africa, largely surrounded by the most beautiful blue-coloured and sun-sandy beaches among others in the list to be named later in coverage of edited articles.

My experience begins with the enticing beauty of Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre which situated 20kms away from Port Elizabeth near Kurland village. The centre specialises mostly in the rehabilitation and conservation of indigenous South African wildcats. The black-footed cats are among the rarest indigenous cats. Half the size of a domestic tabby, they are also called mierhoop tiers (Anthills Tigers).

Foremost, this Garden Route wildlife sunctuary exists to mend injured creatures, not only wildcats, and reintroduce them back into the wild wherever possible.

This is a 1-hour guided walking tour, suitable for the whole family and otherly-abled visitors. First, guests are taken through educational awareness centre before meeting servals, caracals, leopards, African wildcats, black-footed cats, and cheetahs in enclosures, guests are discouraged from touching the animals, the exeption of non-sighted visitors who are permitted to feel the cat's fur under a guides' supervision.  

How to get there:
From Plettenberg Bay, follow the N2 in the direction of Port Elizabeth. 20kms later turn right at the Kurland village turnoff. Continue on the road and pass Kurland on the left. Follow the gravel road and take the right-hand fork. Drive 900m to the Tenikwa sign post.
