The K9 Project Watchdog manages all canine related Honorary Ranger activity in our national parks. A well-trained dog and its handler are powerful weapons against wildlife crime. Dogs use their superior senses of smell, hearing, eyesight and agility to sense and do things that people can’t. As poachers become more lethally armed, dogs provide vital early warning and safety systems for rangers and handlers. Their keen sense of smell and ability to track over long distances for up to 48 hours make them invaluable additions to anti-poaching programs.
This initiative uses highly trained dogs to combat wildlife poaching. The project ensures that these anti-poaching dogs receive the training and care they need to continue their crucial role in safeguarding South Africa’s wildlife heritage.
Cullinan Travel’s commitment to conservation is reflected in the remarkable growth of its K9 Project, launched in 2023 in partnership with Cullinan Guided Journeys. The initiative raised just under R30,000 in its first year to support working anti-poaching dogs, is expected to reach close to R40,000 in 2024, and is projected to double again in 2025. This steady increase highlights both the success of the programme and Cullinan Travel’s deepening investment in protecting wildlife through meaningful, long-term support.
