Forest Walk with Picnic and Wildife Tour

From the moment we arrived at Tenikwa Wildlife Centre, we were warmly greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff, setting the tone for our trip. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals and the centre’s mission. Every stop along the way was filled with fascinating information about the residents and the important conservation work being done here.

Lovely centre doing such good work. We really enjoyed our tour round the animals and our Guide was very friendly and accommodating when time was needed for photography. Picnic lunch was very tasty. The forest walk was ok but I wouldn’t repeat it.

My husband & I chose the Forest Walk with Picnic and Wildlife Tour and were not disappointed. Seeing up close meerkats, birds, tortoises and a variety of cats was fascinating and our guide, Sandile, was very knowledgeable and informative. The cats were amazing to see in such close proximity and the white lion was magnificent. After the wildlife tour, Sandile then took us on the Forest Walk pointing out various plants and trees. He was great in explaining the various medicinal uses of the plants and also how indigenous people used them in their daily lives. He also pointed out evidence of Koi people - a rock that had been hollowed out in which tools would be sharpened. Sandile was an excellent guide and his interest, knowledge and passion whether for the animals or the forest was so evident. We highly recommend this tour.
