Care for Wild Africa for Rhinos

Care for Wild Africa operates from a beautiful farm set in the heartland of Mpumalanga, South Africa. Here a treatment and care centre has been built where animals are tended until they can be rehabilitated back into the wild. Petronel Nieuwoudt, the founder of Care for Wild Africa, is one of the few people worldwide who has specialised in the care of orphaned and injured rhinos – her passion for these treasured species is infectious.

Emerging from her initial passion for caring for wildlife, Petronel saw the need to educate fellow operators in the game capture business. She now offers game-orientated courses that are geared towards capturing, confining and medically attending to all forms of wild animals, as well as the breeding of certain species – roan, sable, buffalo, impala etc. Courses are especially suited to veterinarians, vetinerary nurses, farmers and wildlife professionals.

Volunteers are welcome at Care for Wild Africa! Volunteering is a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity to spend time in Africa, caring for Africa’s distressed wild animals and giving back to nature.
