Company information
The Tsitsikamma Wolf Sanctuary, non-profit company, was established in 2001. The oldest and first wolf sanctuary in South Africa.
We are a safe-haven for surrendered wolves and high-content wolf dogs. We are a non-breeding and non-touch facility. Wolves are wild animals therefore we do not do any interactions inside any of the enclosures.

Rustic Off-Grid Retreat at the Tsitsikamma Wolf Sanctuary
If you’re looking for cozy luxury, THIS IS NOT IT! But if you crave an authentic, off-the-grid adventure, welcome to the Tsitsikamma Wolf Sanctuary. Nestled in the heart of Tsitsikamma, surrounded by mountains, rivers, pine forests, and indigenous woodlands, our sanctuary offers a truly wild retreat. Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in the haunting howl of wolves under the stars.
Our working farm and registered non-profit is open 7 days a week (except Christmas and New Year's). Your stay helps support our mission of rescuing wolves from the exotic pet trade in SA. You’ll see our team busy with daily duties and meet our other animal friends—chickens, cats, donkeys, and geese. They’re family but may be a bit noisy!
