About us

Established 2008

How we started

Black Jax, a female Jackal Buzzard, was the inspiration behind Radical Raptors. She was one of the first birds Dennis trained back in 2006.

Dennis, a falconer and wildlife enthusiast, started Radical Raptors in Plettenberg Bay in 2008 and has worked with CapeNature since 2003.

After 12 years in Plett, Radical Raptors moved to Gouritzmond in 2020, shifting focus from tourism to rehabilitation.

Our passion & focus

Radical Raptors is a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and release centre, specializing in birds of prey.

We’re passionate about promoting education and awareness of wildlife, especially birds of prey.

Our main focus:

  • Wildlife rescue

  • Rehabilitation and conservation

  • Public education & awareness

  • Promoting Eco traps, an alternative to rat poison

Eco-friendly rat traps

Dennis is a lifelong raptor and wildlife enthusiast who’s always promoted the no use of poison and often gets asked: What’s the alternative?

After personally suffering the damage rats can cause, poison was just not an option and he started making his own traps.

We’ve tested and sold hundreds of Eco traps over the years — always with great success!

Thank you for all your support.

Much love,

Dennis & Tania
