A visit to Jukani is not just about viewing big cats, it is a informative experience at a sanctuary where the animal's physical and emotional needs are put above all else. Unlike some other facilities, the cats here do not breed and cubs are not removed from their mothers to be ‘cuddled’ by guests. These cubs frequently end their days as trophy hunter's prey.

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.
A restaurant and curio shop is also available together with disabled access and facilities.
