Wildlife conservation is a team journey.
From Humble Beginnings
Wildlife Paws was born in 2018 when two French women fell in love with South Africa’s landscapes and biodiversity, Flore & Zoé. Joined by two inspiring South African women and supported by their families,
they created Wildlife Paws and formed a close alliance with Dullstroom Bird of Prey & Rehabilitation Centre.
Our mission has always been simple: rescue, rehabilitate and release.
The Animals We Care For
Our location allows us to care for a wide range of species, from tiny monkeys to larger mammals.
We do it all — and as a volunteer, you will experience every step of the process.
Ethics & Permits
All rehabilitation activities follow strict permit regulations.
Animals under rehabilitation are never displayed to the public.
Only non-releasable individuals are visible during guided visits, ensuring ethical, responsible conservation.
Our Partnership
We are proud to collaborate with several trusted rehabilitation partners, including Dullstroom Bird of Prey. Their expertise and long-standing commitment to conservation strengthen our impact across the Mpumalanga province.
Be Wild Family
The Be Wild Family is the French branch supporting Wildlife Paws. United by a shared commitment to wildlife protection, they raise awareness and help extend our mission through education, outreach, and community engagement.

Flore
Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of dedicating my life to animals. South Africa made that dream real, and I’m excited to share my love for Africa and its wildlife with you.
Zoé
Eight years after my first rehab mission revealed my calling, I remain committed to helping animals in need and making a meaningful impact through Wildlife Paws.
Sandrine & Frédéric
After years of traveling, we decided to commit ourselves to a meaningful mission with a real, lasting impact. It brings even deeper purpose and direction to our lives.
