The South African Animal Sanctuary Alliance, a non-profit organisation (PBO No. 200/060 667/08) is the sole caretaker of the animals at Jukani, and therefore their future is secured.
Jukani is funded by means for responsible eco-tourism and strives to achieve an effective harmony between conservation and economic reality.
