You can judge the depth of a person's soul,
by the way they treat their dog.
Empathy = highest measure of intelligence

When Korbessa mastered holding her own bottle, our Keepers faced a new problem – getting it back. She wouldn't let go. Eventually, they gave up and distracted her with a dust bath. It worked. Eventually.
Rescued as a newborn, now cheeky, confident, and growing wonderfully.

Days old. Swept away in a flash flood. Our Keepers became the only family she'd ever known.
Lemeki graduated to Voi in 2022. Now she's learning to lead as a mini-matriarch – and one day, she'll start a wild family of her own.
You make journeys like hers possible.

Olomunyak means 'the lucky one' – and he earned it.
He survived lions in the Mara as a tiny calf. Arrived at the Nursery skin and bones. By June, the transformation was remarkable – weight returning, strength rebuilding, curiosity awakening.
Now he's the one comforting others.

An old spear wound had healed, but debris was trapped under the footpad. Our pilot spotted him limping. Our vet team did the rest.
