The most authentic and unforgettable wildlife encounter near Harare.
Visit Wild Is Life, a genuine, working wildlife sanctuary and the home of Zimbabwe’s first-ever elephant orphanage, the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery (ZEN). This is not a zoo—it is a unique opportunity to witness the critical work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-wilding orphaned African animals.
What to Expect:
- Intimate Encounters: Get a close-up look at rescued elephants, as well as a variety of other residents including lion, cheetah, pangolin, giraffe, and more.
- Educational Afternoon Tours: Book our exclusive, highly-regarded tours to learn the powerful stories of these animals and be inspired to connect with the wild world.
- Support Conservation: Every penny from your visit directly funds the essential care and eventual release of the animals back into the wild.
Planning Your Visit:
- Tours are strictly by appointment only.
- We deliberately limit guest numbers to ensure the welfare of our animals, so reservations are essential.
- A truly ethical, inspiring, and meaningful attraction for travellers and locals alike.
