The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary

Visit the Sanctuary

A visit to the Sanctuary is more than just an unforgettable wildlife experience.  It’s a chance to connect with nature, learn about predator protection, and become part of a lasting solution.

Experience the Wild
Support the Mission

About an hour from Johannesburg and 50 minutes from Pretoria, the Kevin Richardson Foundation Reserve lies within Dinokeng Game Reserve, nestled between the Bobbejaansberge mountains and Boekenhoutspruit. It’s home to the Wildlife Sanctuary—a safe haven for rescued African carnivores.

A Lifelong Home for Lions, Leopards & Hyenas

Led by Kevin Richardson, the Sanctuary provides permanent care for animals that cannot be returned to the wild.

With rotating enclosures, enrichment walks, world-class veterinary care, and spacious terrain, every animal is treated with dignity and purpose.

More Than a Sanctuary
A Vision for the Future

Now evolving into a rehabilitation and rewilding centre, the Sanctuary is shifting focus to prepare wild carnivores and other species for a return to natural habitats, guided by a strict no-replacement policy and over 25 years of ethical wildlife care.

Visit. Learn
Be Inspired

Through guided tours and educational programs, guests gain a deeper understanding of Africa’s large carnivores and the urgent threats they face; from habitat loss and poaching to unethical hunting and the illegal wildlife trade.

Stay With Us at Amy’s Camp

Where the Wild Feels Like Home

Whether you’re visiting for a sanctuary tour or looking for a restful, malaria-free escape, our camp is the perfect base: close to the city, yet completely immersed in the wild.

Named in honour of Amy, the camp carries her legacy forward. As night falls, fall asleep to the sound of lions roaring and hyenas calling beneath a star-strewn African sky.

Ideal for both locals and international travellers, Amy’s Camp also serves as a restful stopover before heading deeper into South Africa’s bushveld.

Whether it’s for a weekend getaway, a special occasion, or a company retreat, Amy’s Camp offers an authentic, restorative experience, connecting you to nature and to a cause that matters.
