The project is set in Chipangali, one of Africa’s oldest and most successful wildlife orphanages. This animal sanctuary is a haven for creatures which have little hope for survival in the wild. The orphanage is often the last refuge for animals or birds that are brought in orphaned, sick or injured, or in danger due to human/wildlife conflict, and in some cases confiscated after being born in captivity or kept as “pets”.

All the animals at Chipangali have their own story as to how they ended up at the sanctuary. Wherever possible, rescued animals and birds are rehabilitated and returned to the wild, but where release into their natural habitat is not possible, they are provided with care and a home-for-life in the orphanage.

Make a real difference to the lives of these animals, as well as gaining wildlife and veterinary experience
