Holistic Retreats
We are busy preparing our space to host retreats and welcome anyone interested in organising and hosting retreats at Wildpark. The chance to connect with plants and wild animals in this self-sustainable haven is a truly unique opportunity.
ABOUT OUR “COMMUNITY SANCTUARY” PROJECT
Our NPO provides a sanctuary for wildlife at the Rocky Drift Nature Reserve and the chance to retreat into the hidden mountain forests of Mpumalanga, South Africa
Here, between the commanding canyon walls and enchanting emerald forest, a sacred space exists allowing people and wildlife to connect. Our goal is to create a flourishing ecosystem of animal care and healthy lifestyle options where both animals and local people can thrive.
What to Expect at Wildpark Africa
Self-Sufficiency
Our reserve will operate entirely off-grid to ensure the hard work we do is not undone by our presence in the area. Living harmoniously alongside nature, we help locals do the same by providing platforms for them to sell handcrafted goods in the global marketplace.
Transparency
Whether our volunteers are caring for rescued wildlife, building eco-conscious cabins, outreaching to local communities or assisting with our holistic retreats we share everything with our online community. Sharing our story is our invitation to you to be part of our online community and witness how we grow.
Wellbeing
We care a lot about our wildlife and about the community who care for the wildlife. We know this relationship people share with animals and nature is incredibly powerful towards personal wellbeing and we want to share it with everyone. So those individuals seeking healing experiences within nature and wildlife now have the chance here at Wildpark Africa.
our vision
The goal is to create a self-sufficient community working towards integrating a wildlife sanctuary with holistic retreats. Caring for others and caring for ourselves is the sacred standard by which we live and work and it brings about a unique idea we call a “community sanctuary” where wildlife, people and plants are welcome.
