Villiera's wildlife sanctuary includes 12 dams plus marsh areas which attract a huge variety of bird life. Indigenous trees are grown in old milk containers, plastic water bottles, etc. by our staff and then bought from them when a year old and planted out. Thousands of indigenous trees have also been donated by the Cape Garden Centre. To date well over 100 000 trees have been planted.
There are a number of mammals in the Wildlife Sanctuary: Springbok, kudu, giraffe, bontebok, eland, gemsbok, black wildebeest, bush pig, Burchell's zebra, duiker, steenbuck, waterbuck, and grysbok.
The Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in Koelenhof and access is gained through Villiera's vineyards.
