Hallo Darlings!

Welcome to the magic of Wild is Life!

Thank you for being with us and for your interest in our wild lives. The paths we all walk, as individuals, at Wild is Life, are filled with adventure, love, growth, empathy, compassion and optimism. We are not afraid to say that we love the animals in our care.

In these days of fast everything, heads down, phones on and busy businesses, the need for connection to the wild world is ever more important. Our planet is in crisis, yet so many people think that someone else is going to fix it! Not so? It will take each and every person who inhabits this earth, to show compassion, love and a desire to change, before anything meaningful will be achieved.

We aim to inspire conservation, in whatever form that may take. We encourage humans to care about the living world around them and to feel the sentience of wild lives. We provide second chances to those who have no voice. We nurse and cherish the souls who are injured, traumatized, bereft, and heartbroken.

We care about the land, as much as we do about people and animals. The land is fragile too and it is imperative that we protect, conserve and appreciate all she has to offer us. The lives that pass through our hands are truly Wild Gifts… ever precious, always valued.

Your support is always appreciated, whether it be a bottle of milk, a tractor, a uniform, or a lifesaving flight of a little elephant angel! Please do come and see us soon, or connect on social media! We love hearing from you!

Remember… keep believing in the magic of the Wild World!

When smoke gets in your eyes… and our entire browse supply is burned to the ground.πŸ”₯πŸ˜­πŸš’FUNDRAISING FOR OUR BROWSERS πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½A few days ago, an apocalyptic fire engulfed the farm next door to us. The winds were monumental, the humidity down at 12% and the gum trees just spat flames with anger. It was an aggressive and terrifying day. Sadly, despite the heroic efforts of at least 500 farm workers, plus two fire engines from the air force, water carts from Bitumen World and Davis Granite, we were unable to contain the fire, which jumped the road and roared through our property. Luckily, our main game park is protected with robust fireguards, but the fire destroyed all of our hay lands, shrubbery strips and bushveld. To this end, our ENTIRE dry season’s worth of browse for giraffe, elephant, plains game and others, has been eradicated. It is not a pretty sight and devastating to see beautiful indigenous trees burned and scarred. Let alone all the little wild animals, that would have been caught in the inferno.We now need to bring in bales of lucerne hay to supplement the wildlife. This is hugely expensive and we need assistance. I am not very good at asking for donations, so I do not write this post lightly. If you are able to spare anything at all, please consider donating to support our animals during the hot and dry coming months. I have lived on this farm for 40 years and have never seen a fire this rampant, nor explosive. We have already made an effort to get haybales to the sable antelope who live next door, as they have nothing, whatsoever, to eat. Thank you so much, Love Rox xxx To donate click here: www.wildislife.org/donate or email jules@wildislife.org who can provide bank details local and international to send any kind donations through.#WildisLife_ZEN #onebyone #CultureOfCare
