We offer educational tours daily, with feedings during the afternoon tour and an informative talk about the animals and the project by an experienced guide.

ADOPT A CAT PROJECTAdoption of animals in care centres by individuals or companies raises funds for the well-being of animals in captivity, and is a system implemented worldwide by such organisations.

By encouraging donations, we will be able to improve each individual cat’s stay at the center. The aim of the project is not to keep many cats in captivity. When numbers increase, (either due to breeding or rehabilitation), surplus animals will be released back into the wild at no expense according to our permit agreement.

In return for your valued support, you will receive a participation certificate, be kept up to date via e-mail regarding your adopted cat and the project, and you will enjoy free visits to the project for the duration of your support.

This is the future for all of our children; so let us stand together in preserving our natural wildlife before it is too late. Thank you for caring.

• Interaction is based on the cats mood – this is vital to keep in mind.• Visitors enter all enclosures at their own risk.• Children under 3 years may attend the tour. Regrettably they are

not allowed to enter the cat enclosures.• Children over the age of 3 may enter the enclosures but at all times

must remain under parental control.• Should any visitor cause a disturbance to the cats or tour, they will

be ask by the tour guide to leave the enclosures immediately and to wait at the coffee area.

• Cats are unpredictable – even if tame!• Please follow the guide’s instructions at all times.• Please stay with the group while attending the show.• No running within the camps or outside the fences.• No loud noises of any kind.• Crying babies to be comforted at the waiting area, please. This is

not only a disturbance for other guests but for the cats as well.

The above arrangements are for your own safety as well as for our cats. Thank you for your co-operation.

Emdoneni has successfully managed a Cheetah Project since 1994 and a Serval Project since 1998, with a vision to provide and maintain an environmentally friendly and aesthetic wildlife centre.

The purpose of the Project is to facilitate Environmental Education and Conservation of CHEETAH (currently listed as endangered) and SERVALS (becoming increasingly threatened through habitat loss and hunting), as well as Caracal (African Lynx) and African Wildcats, which are also under threat, albeit to a lesser degree.

Emdoneni Lodge offers intimate and comfortable accommodation in the form of chalets and rondavels, on a dinner, bed and breakfast or B&B basis, allowing guests to sample the delights of true South African hospitality and cuisine.

Activities include visiting the cat centre, guided walks amongst the animals, game drives and a children’s program.
