Partnering for Kruger’s carnivores.

The Kruger National Park turns 100 this year — but its great carnivores are in trouble. Lion numbers in northern Kruger are down 63% since 2005. Fewer than 6,600 wild dogs remain globally.

The Endangered Wildlife Trust and SANParks Honorary Rangers are fighting back with a project to GPS collar lion populations in the Kruger National Park — allowing rangers to track a pride in real time and step in before poachers do. One collared lion protects its whole pride. Thirty collars are needed for the highest-risk areas of northern Kruger.

To mark their 20th harvest, Painted Wolf Wines have donated 6,000 bottles of their finest wines to help change that. Together with the SANParks Honorary Rangers and the Endangered Wildlife Trust, they’re aiming to raise R600,000 for carnivore conservation in the Kruger National Park.

Of every R995 case of Painted Wolf Wines’ “Kruger Carnivore Case” sold by 16 December 2026, R600 goes directly towards the purchase of GPS collars that will help protect Kruger’s lions. Every case bought also enters you into Painted Wolf Wine’s monthly prize draws, plus the Grand Prize Draw in December.
