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!

Habitat

Focused on rewilding, anti-poaching and conservation, Panda Masuie is a 34 000 hectare protected space near Victoria Falls. This is where the rehabilitated elephants begin their final stages towards a full reintegration back into the wild.

At #wildislife_zen we make a concerted effort to ensure that our elephants spend their days like elephants in the wild would… Swimming, exploring, browsing the bush for new things to eat and more.Everyday is a lesson in growth and survival to prepare them for their ultimate test – to return back to the wild (when the time comes)Here they are excitedly following their Carers out for the day. ifaw #onebyone #CultureOfCare #animalconservation

In honour of #motherdays coming up, we’re celebrating elephant mothers because they are the heart of every herd – raising their little ones with fierce protection, gentle guidance and endless patience 🐘💕😘At #wildislife_zen we’ve had the privilege of witnessing the incredible bond between Annabelle and baby Summer – a love that is pure and powerful. This coming Mother’s Day, we honour all mothers, both wild and human, who nurture with love and protect with strength. ifaw #onebyone #cultureofcare #animalconservation
