Raptor Rescue Plettenberg Bay strives to provide the best after care and on site housing for the treatment and rehabilitation of birds of prey. We maintain ethical standards by working with professional veterinarians and birding conservationists. Our mission is to release as many indigenous birds as possible back into their natural habitat in the hopes that they can breed and increase wild raptor populations. Although we specialise in raptors, we are permitted to work with all bird species, except seabirds. 

We believe education is key to coexisting with wildlife. By teaching people, especially children and young adults, about nature and conservation, we can reduce harm to birds and their habitats. Our programs, including guided tours, school groups, holiday clubs, and volunteer programmes aim to inspire a love for wildlife and promote sustainable practices. By working together, we can protect biodiversity and ensure a healthier planet.

The Garden Route is home to a diverse range of snake species, including some venomous ones. While most snakes are harmless, it’s crucial to exercise caution. Instead of risking injury to yourself or the snake, let our professionals handle the situation. We offer safe, humane snake removals and relocations, releasing snakes into suitable wild habitats. Our team also provides education and awareness talks to help communities coexist with these vital reptiles. If you encounter a snake, give us a call – we’re here to help!
