HESC focuses on the conservation of rare, vulnerable and endangered animal species. Cheetah Conservation is one of its core disciplines.
The centre is actively involved in research; breeding of endangered animal species; the education of learners, students and the general public in conservation and conservation-related activities; tourism; the release and establishment of captive-bred cheetahs in the wild; the treatment and rehabilitation of wild animals in need (including poached rhinos); and anti-poaching initiatives on the reserve.
HESC is home to a variety of animal species including (but not limited to) ground hornbill, sable antelope, leopard, cheetah, and rhino. Some of these animals are at the centre as part of their breeding programme, while others were brought in because they were injured, orphaned or in need of rehabilitation. Some animals were also brought in by wildlife authorities after being confiscated or rescued from unfavorable environments.

We are really happy we could have this tour, and happy to see that the Center makes everything possible to educate people and children about Endangered Species. The 8 mns video is emotionally moving and is a good introduction to the work done here, then the tour brought us to many different wide spaces with cheetahs (so great to see them Here, in 9 different safaris we did not see any, how sad it is to realise it is almost extinct...), wild dogs, etc. Thanks a lot for your work. May you succeed in changing minds and reintrocing many animale into the wild.

I really enjoyed the tour of Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre. Clifford, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and our experience with the animals there was informative and just enjoyable. We were also fortunate enough to be there for a wild dog feeding which was extremely interesting to watch. They do good work and taking the tour is HIGHLY recommended
