点评:If there’s one place on this holiday that truly moved me, it was the Tenikwa Rehabilitation and Awareness Centre. From the moment we arrived, it was clear just how deeply Mandy, Len, Keri, Alex and their team care for every animal they look after. Their dedication isn’t just something you see — you feel it.
We weren’t able to see the animals currently being rehabilitated, as they wisely limit human contact, but that only made the experience more meaningful. We were privileged to meet the lions, cheetahs and the many other varieties of wild cats who, for various reasons, cannot return to the wild. And it wasn’t just the big cats — the sanctuary is also home to an incredible range of other animals, including meerkats, penguins, tortoises and a huge variety of birdlife. Being surrounded by so much life and hearing each animal’s story was deeply humbling.
We were shown around by Msizi and Zama, whose knowledge, warmth and respect for the animals added so much depth to the experience.
Our stay was just as special. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, wonderfully comfortable, and felt like a quiet, natural haven. Spending a night in one of the lion cabins was an experience I’ll carry with me forever — drifting off to sleep with the sounds of the sanctuary around us felt truly magical.
Breakfast the next morning, prepared by Precious and Davidson, was made to order, beautifully cooked, and such a great start to the day.
A recent addition to Tenikwa is their wellness centre, where we enjoyed a fabulous massage by Josephine — a perfect way to unwind.
I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this remarkable non-profit organisation. It will touch your heart, and our support helps sustain the extraordinary, compassionate work they do for some of the world’s most vulnerable animals.

由于中心明智地限制了人与动物的接触,我们没能见到正在接受康复治疗的动物,但这反而让我们的体验更加意义非凡。我们有幸见到了狮子、猎豹以及其他许多因各种原因无法重返野外的野生猫科动物。这里不仅有大型猫科动物,还有种类繁多的其他动物,包括狐獴、企鹅、陆龟以及各种各样的鸟类。置身于如此丰富的生命之中,聆听每只动物的故事,都让我深受震撼,也让我更加敬畏生命。
Msizi 和 Zama 带我们参观,他们渊博的知识、热情的待人方式以及对动物的尊重,都让我们的体验更加深刻。
我们的住宿体验同样令人难忘。房间一尘不染,舒适无比,宛如一片宁静的自然绿洲。在狮子小屋里度过一晚的经历将永远铭刻在我的记忆中——伴着保护区的各种声音入睡,感觉真的太奇妙了。
第二天早晨,Precious 和 Davidson 为我们准备的早餐新鲜美味,为美好的一天拉开了序幕。
Tenikwa 最近新增了健康中心,我们在那里享受了 Josephine 提供的绝妙按摩——这是放松身心的完美方式。
我由衷地推荐大家参观这家卓越的非营利组织。它一定会触动你的心弦,而我们的支持将帮助他们继续为世界上一些最脆弱的动物提供非凡而充满爱心的帮助。
