We offer our special visitors a life-changing, unique experience, embracing our holistic culture of care. Bookings are essential.
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!
Roxy Danckwerts, Founder
Wild is Life is home to the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery (ZEN) – the first elephant nursery in Zimbabwe. We rescue, rehabilitate and rewild orphaned and injured elephants and offer them a second chance at life.
Visit the Wild is Life Sanctuary for an unforgettable wildlife experience. Connect with giraffes and elephants, meet and learn about pangolins, listen to the roar of lions and enjoy high tea or sundowners in our eclectic guest space.
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.
