We are Kalahari Wildlife Project
based in the Northern Cape of South Africa, specialising in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of injured, orphaned and displaced wildlife.
The Centre
The rehabilitation centre was officially opened in 2015, starting with just a few animals. Since 2018 we have received consistent support through our relationship with Pangolin.Africa and have been growing since.
We have rehabilitated a wide range of species, including pangolins, aardvark, bat-eared foxes, caracals, servals, aardwolves, meerkats, birds of prey, tortoises and more.
Please note, our centre is not open to the public for visits. The animals require a calm, quiet and secure environment during their rehabilitation. Thank you for your understanding.
Machel
The owner and manager of the facility, Machel, is the heart of Kalahari Wildlife Project. She is a trained veterinary nurse with more than 40 years of experience in rehabilitating wild animals.
Thank you for our new rescue 4x4 vehicle
We would like to say the biggest thank you to Pangolin.Africa, My 4X4 Fitment, Upington Toyota & all others involved for the donation of a 4x4 vehicle to support the work of the Kalahari Wildlife Project.
This vehicle will play a vital role in helping us reach injured or orphaned wildlife, transport animals safely to release sites and carry out our rehabilitation work. Due to the great distances and rough terrain in our area, this 4x4 vehicle will truly make a great difference!
