Once dumped in the desert as an unwanted pet, Saif now roars with pride at ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa. Rescued at just 1 year old, he's grown into a strong, playful lion. With lifelong care, Saif and his sister Dhubiya finally live the life every lion should. #ADIWildlifeSanctuary

INVESTIGATOR KIARA
Lioness Kiara is always on the move, patrolling the Davis Habitat she shares with her siblings, Africa and Rolex. Kiara was rescued from a circus in Peru, and a cage the size of a queen bed. #EmptyTheCages #ADIWildlifeSanctuary #AnimalRescue

FREEDOM TASTES GOOD. Rescued from a circus in Peru, Africa knew only metal bars, shouting voices, & fear. No grass, no space to roam, no peace. Now, she spends her days in a spacious five-acre African grassland habitat. Her sister Kiara2 always nearby. #ADIWildlifeSanctuary

RELAXED ROLEX 💤 Basking in the African sunshine, Rolex’s eyes are starting to close, his head slips forward and soon he'll be drifting off to sleep. A picture of relaxation at ADIWS, and a long way from the tiny circus cage ADI rescued him from in Peru.

Playful Aziza was a victim of the illegal trophy pet trade and was the last lion to make up our #Kuwait6. Nervous and shy Aziza has certainly found her confidence at the #ADIWildlifeSanctuary in South Africa. #StopPetTrade #AnimalSanctuary

Just like fingerprints, every tiger’s stripes are unique – and so is Moon. Rescued from a circus in Guatemala, this curious tigress is now thriving at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. She’s grown bolder, more playful, and loves watching our drone fly overhead!

QUEENS OF THE GRASSLANDS. Sisters Kiara & Africa enjoy a blissful afternoon at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. Before their rescue from a circus in Peru, they were confined to a cage. They now roam amongst the native vegetation and wildlife of their 5 acre habitat, South Africa.

Rescued as cubs from a circus in Guatemala, Max & Stripes now live safely at #ADIWildlifeSanctuary in South Africa. Their lifelong bond is evident—when Max suffered a seizure, Stripes stayed close, & when Stripes required hospital care, Max was by his side.

Rescued from the illegal trophy pet trade in Kuwait, Aziza came to the #ADIWildlifeSanctuary in South Africa in May 2024. She arrived shy & nervous, but has grown into a confident lioness, often strolling up to say hello. Or she might be just out of sight, watching you right now…
