Suni Antelope are found in our Wildlife Sanctuary

From huge to small, rare and endangered species enjoy our protection.

A varied selection of animal species (including 8 red data species) are found here. Suni-Ridge Sand Forest Park Environmental Rehabilitation Centre is named in honour of the diminutive Suni Antelope that is found in our sand forest.

Thanks to your generous support, Suni-Ridge is able to provide a wildlife sanctuary, protect the amazing biodiversity in our region, and to increase the awareness among local communitities of the importance to preserve and protect the environment and their natural heritage. 

Our latest newcomers are aardvark which have been identified as the occupants of the huge holes in the sand forest. They must have come in by digging under the fence. We see this as a great compliment, as these unusual animals are very sparcely populated, often having a range of up to 500 h for just one animal.

Aardvark also call Suni-Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary "home"
