Duma April 2012

Our stunning Duma has an admirer! We have spotted the tracks of a wild male leopard outside her camp frequently over the last few months. He stalks the fence line, clearly trying to flirt with Duma. If those fences weren't there we just wonder might happen...

Shakira and Ombeli April 2012

Shakira and Ombeli seem to have lots of energy at the moment as they run alongside the cars and chase the volunteers as they do daily enclosure patrol. Ombeli and Shakira are so social, whenever you go to their camp, whether by car or on foot, they seem to know you're there often without even calling them. They quickly pitch up to the fence and even when they realise it's not feeding time and you don't have food for them, they still keep you company and stay there. Watch this short video clip of Shakira relaxing one day.

Keanu and Timbila April 2012

Keanu and Timbila have been enjoying quite the show recently as the watchtower next to their camp is being rebuilt. We have a security tower positioned directly next to the camp where our Security guards and volunteers sleepout over night to look out for poachers or any other activity. The safety of our animals are our main priority and our leopards are very precious.

Shakira and Ombeli - January 2012

Shakira and Ombeli remain the soft spot in our hearts, nobody will ever forget in what bad physical condition they were when they arrived on N/a'ankusê, but goodness have they improved! They are beautiful creatures reminding us how important it is to conserve their species for the next generation.

Duma - January 2012

One can actually not believe how Duma's character has changed since she has moved to her beautiful big natural enclosure, she has become calm and seems happy, sitting for hours staring at Ombili through  the fence. She is probably a bit jealous of Shakira, her younger and leaner neighbor!

Keanu and Timbila - January 2012

Keanu and Timbila's camp is so green and full of beautiful yellow flowers that even the leopards seem to be getting friendlier and inspired by them! They delight any visitors with their presence straight away and even show off splashing around in their waterhole at times!

These two magnificent leopard still have visitors on the carnivore feeding tour in awe when they see their power, they are however a sad reminder how we humans have played a role in them ending up in captivity for the rest of their lives.

Keanu and Timbila - October update

Keanu

Keanu and Timbila remain the fiercest animals at N/a'an ku se Wildlife Sanctuary. Their ferocious nature continues to awe all who visit them.
