Makes A Great Gift For An Environmentally Conscious Friend – Or For Yourself
Help save this highly endangered species by adopting* a wild African penguin or penguin egg that will be rehabilitated and released back into the wild by our dedicated staff … or one of our ‘Home Pen’ birds that live permanently at our Table View and Gqeberha seabird centres because for various reasons, they cannot be released back into the wild.
