We were recently visited again by Margrit and Russ from Nikela  and were thrilled to show them around and for them to see how much the Sanctuary had grown since their last visit in 2015. It was an oppourtinuty for them to meet Aimee and Alec and learn more about the people who have come […]

Bat Release
Felicia, the fruit bat, came to Free to be Wild after escaping the claws of a crow and the jaws of a lion! (Talk about running the gauntlet!) We nursed Felicia back to health, during which she quickly gained a very soft spot in our hearts. It was a sad day to see her leave, […]

I’ve got a Baboon on my back
Our dear Bangwe, an orphaned warthog, has developed a great friendship with two of our Baboon orphans, Umfazi and Holly.
