When visitors arrive at Tenikwa they feel a sense of energy and well-being.  This is mirrored by the passion and dedication of the team who care for the creatures of Tenikwa and who readily work long exhausting hours to nurse a wild animal through the night.

Staff are chosen for the manner in which they relate to animals and this translates through to the various activities.  All tour-guides are also responsible for animal-keeping duties.  This allows them to form a bond with the creatures and stay in touch with what Tenikwa is all about.

Animal Keeping staff are encouraged to join The Animal Keepers Association of Africa (AKKA), to uphold professional animal keeping principles and Tour guiding staff are encouraged to attain their FGASA certification in Field Guiding.
