We congratulate our friends at Shamwari Private Game Reserve, South Africa on their 30th anniversary! 2022 marks 25 years of working together – our two sanctuaries at Shamwari provide lifetime care for rescued big cats 🦁🐆

Today is Shamwari 30th Birthday! 🥳 In order to help us celebrate we are hosting national media members and what better way to start our celebrations with a herd of elephants infront of Sindile Lodge.

We had a superb day out on the reserve celebrating our 30th Birthday. From visiting the Born Free Sanctuary and Education Centre, having lunch at the beautiful Long Lee Manor to drinks at sundowner. The wildlife also decided to celebrate with us.🥳 📸 Simone Smith #shamwari

Did you know… Other than the Big 5, there is also the Ugly 5 and as it's Halloween today, we thought it would be fitted to give one of our Ugly 5 members a spotlight. Often difficult to catch on camera, this one was preoccupied with his uninvited house guests. #shamwari
