Help us protect our Wildlife
Raptor Rescue Plettenberg Bay is a non-profit company that relies on your support. While guided tours and educational programs contribute to our work, funding shortfalls still occur. Your donation or sponsorships ensures we can continue our mission, caring for wildlife and inspiring conservation in the community.
MAKE A DONATION
Individual and corporate donations play a vital role in our work. Contributions help us rescue, rehabilitate, and care for wildlife while supporting our education and conservation initiatives. We acknowledge our supporters on our website and social media, with corporate donors also eligible for recognition within our visitor centre. Donations can be made via EFT, PayPal, or in person — every contribution makes a difference.
SPONSOR A BIRD
Our resident birds are supported by dedicated sponsors who make their care possible. Sponsors contribute an annual fee that covers their bird’s feeding for the year. In return, they receive unlimited visits, our annual newsletter, and their name or business featured on our sponsor board at the centre, as well as acknowledgement on our website and social media.

Mark’s passion for the birds he helps rescue is quite apparent. We had a great time with our kids learning about the birds and asking questions about their past and future. Thank you for a fun experience! We’ll be back the next time we’re in Plett – Darshan H
The staff were so friendly the minute my friend and I walked in and I learned a lot! The birds are well looked after. Would definitely recommend going there! – Dani Oelofse
