Despite being home to lions, leopards and cheetahs, there have never been wild tigers in Africa - until this century. Tiger Canyon is a revolutionary conservation project, dedicated to preserving the endangered Bengal tiger. It is the brainchild of John Varty, familiarly known as JV. JV was a founder of Londolozi - a luxury private game reserve in Sabi Sands on the border of Kruger National Park in South Africa. Londolozi is famous for its leopard viewing, after JV habituated a leopardess – called the ‘mother leopard’ - to game drive vehicles in the 1970s, thereby allowing future generations to be viewed up close by many fortunate tourists. His Tiger Canyon project is also a game reserve, but with a difference. Situated in Karoo, a district in the Northern Cape of South Africa, it is the only place outside India where wild tigers can be viewed living out their natural lives without human interference. As one of the top ten most endangered animal species in the world, JV is committed to reducing the risk of extinction of the Bengal Tiger by creating a sustainable population in South Africa. Started from a pair of zoo-born cubs which were rewilded by JV, Tiger Canyon is now on its fourth generation of wild-born, wild-raised tigers. Whilst the African landscape is not their original habitat, they have adapted perfectly to hunt prey species native to South Africa and they are thriving. Could this be a model for saving other endangered species?
