PACKTOWN TEAM BUILDING VISIT TO PANTHERA AFRICA BIG CAT SANCTUARY
At Packtown we believe in investing in our staff through training, coaching and team building. This past week one of our teams went to visit Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary.
Not only was a this a great day out, bonding with fellow Packtown team mates, but it was also very educational, with a very informative and interesting guided tour.
Lizaene Cornwall and Cathrine Cornwall-Nyquist‘s love for animals and their passion for the four big cats: the lion, leopard, jaguar and the tiger, resulted in founding Panthera Africa.
At this environmentally friendly sanctuary for any captive bred big cats, the animals are protected and cared for to ensure that they can prosper for the rest of their lives.
One of Panthera Africa’s main purposes is to be an educational platform where they create awareness about the conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment play a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible. At Panthera there is no hands-on interaction, breeding or trading, a great example of how a non-profit sanctuary, focusing on animal welfare, can become self-sufficient.
They believe in the connection between both environmental and wildlife conservation, and aims to become the first “green” big cat sanctuary in South Africa, to run solely on solar energy.
Panthera Africa is situated on 40 hectare of paradise land with a beautiful home for the animals, the founders and the many volunteers visiting. The land is filled with lots of large trees, a natural spring and an amazing 180 degree mountain view!
Thank you Panthera fr a fantastic experience!
Panthera Africa is situated in the Overberg, just off the R326, close to Stanford.
