Take a listen to the podcast with GM Michael Volschenk.
The THREE VALLEYS Animal Sanctuary was founded in 2021 when, during COVID, some of the predators at a nearby park desperately needed new homes when their current facility was forced to close down.
The four lions, a Siberian tiger, a black leopard, and 3 Caracal were born in captivity and cannot be rewilded. We at Three Valleys have provided an old age home for these gorgeous cats. We do not feed in public and no petting is allowed.

Our staff hard at work!
We are now in the throes of the last couple of weeks of planning for the Running Wild Experience!
Last year, the run attracted over 200 people and contributed to the much-needed dental work for 3 lions. This year the funds will be used towards, Josh the lion’s chronic medication and a new swimming pool for Ruby, the tiger.
Some funds go to RETREAT TO EDEN and the SPCA in Port Alfred. The Port Alfred Rotary Club plays a fundamental role in organizing the event along with THREE VALLEYS.
Your participation/contribution will go a long way to assisting these animals!
