WHO WE ARE
One of Panthera Africa's main purposes is to be an educational platform where we create awareness about conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment play a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible. We are a true sanctuary where no cub petting, breeding or trading takes place. We are a blue print of how a non-profit sanctuary, focusing on animal welfare, can become self-sufficient, and we aim to change breeding facilities into sustainable ethical projects.
About Us
The name Panthera Africa is inspired by the passion Lizaene and Cathrine have for the four pantheras; panthera leo - the lion, panthera pardus - the leopard, panthera onca - the jaguar and panthera tigris - the tiger.

Our pride includes Pardus, Zorro, Sheeba, Neptune, Obi, Oliver, Achilles, Jubatus, Zakara, Jade, Lei-ah, Chaka, Baguira, Shani, Elsa, Arabella, Raise, Aries, Maya, Lucy, Cody, Amy, Jack & Max.

Vision, Mission & Values
