Centre for African Resources: Animals, Communities and Land Use (CARACAL)

CARACAL is a not-for-profit NGO located in northern Botswana. CARACAL is committed to the conservation of wildlife and improving the livelihoods of communities that must live with this resource in Botswana. Through a combination of research, outreach and education, we work closely with local communities and the Botswana government to secure a sustainable future.

We are a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center housing a wide range of Botswana’s native species. It is home to Botswana’s largest collection of endemic snakes species, endangered species, small mammals, birds of prey, amphibians, and more.

Visitors are able to get up close and personal with all of our animals and can interact with some of them in a hands-on encounter supervised by our expert staff. The World of Wildlife is a uniquely family-friendly attraction in the Chobe region, with tour options specifically designed to appeal to children. All gate-fees and contributions are put towards our ongoing wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and conservation education efforts.

The following is a collection of stories, compiled throughout the years, depicting the lives of animals residing at CARACAL. Rescued animals that stay with us become ambassadors for their species and play a pivotal role in the education of local schoolchildren and the general public. Our goal is to enhance understanding of the importance of these animals in healthy ecosystems.
