The Umoya Khulula Philosophy

At Umoya Khulula, we believe that every wild creature matters. We keep that belief in mind when treating and rehabilitating all our animals in order to not only help them heal but to also prepare them for an eventual return to the wild, which is where they belong.

What We Do

Umoya Khulula operates as a 24-hour wildlife rescue centre in South Africa.

Rehabilitation

Final stage at our wildlife rescue centre

Umoya Khulula rescues animals from cases that can be ascribed to human effect, whether it be due to ignorance, negligence, or cruelty.

The objective of wildlife rehabilitation is to provide licensed care to sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals so ultimately they can be returned to their normal wild environment. Animals in rehabilitation can spend anywhere from a few days to several months at Umoya Khulula before release. It all depends on the species, how old they were when they arrived, and the severity of their injuries.

Releases take place on sites that have been inspected and approved by Umoya Khulula animal care staff. Release sites are often large acreages, and all are chosen to meet species-specific needs for vegetation and terrain and that have year-round water and food sources.
