Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
Moholoholo is a home to many of South Africa’s abandoned, injured and poisoned wildlife. At Moholoholo we are often faced with the difficult decision of what to do with an injured or poisoned animal which will not be able to be released back into the wild. As a result, we have a number of “permanent residents” at the centre and at our own cost we use them as “ambassadors” for their respective species.
