Who We Are
Retreat2Eden is a non-profit, pro-life sanctuary assisting with the physical and psychological rehabilitation of abandoned animals.
Our Mission
Retreat2Eden is on a mission to continue socialising and rehoming as many furry friends as possible. To do this, we need to upgrade our sanctuary to provide for 10,000 dogs and act as a home base for animal rehabilitation.
Our Team
Retreat2Eden consists of dedicated, driven individuals. Together, we work to create a safe space that serves to protect the rights and lives of animals.
Our History
uplifting live for over 20 years //
1995
Founders Johann and Lynne Wilhelm began saving animal lives in the mid-1990s but found working on small, temporary farms limited.
To curate a more sustainable approach to animal rehabilitation, they established Retreat 2 Eden in 2005.

Johann and Lynne constructed their rehabilitation sanctuary in Port Alfred, Eastern Cape. Set in an expansive 106-acre farm, the couple cultivated their rehoming centre out of their own pockets. Since its inception, they’ve provided a haven for both farm and home animals.
Retreat 2 Eden continues to rehabilitate, rehome, and provide a sanctuary for abandoned animals.
