Environmental Education for over 300 Children

Meet Jumper, a Verreaux’s (Black) Eagle who came to Daktari last week. Jumper had a broken wing and had to have most of it amputated. Although he cannot fly, he is still very quick on the ground as he jumps around his cage, hence his name!! The children were really excited to meet him but a little bit nervous because...

Dear Supporting Friends, As most of you know Herbie came to live with us at Daktari about six months ago.  Herbie is a cross between a Bush pig and a Domestic pig.  A couple of weeks ago Peter Rogers our local vet came to visit Herbie as he was becoming quite aggressive and difficult to manage.  It was...

Dear Supporter, Years go by and I sometime forget about how important our work is for the children we welcome at Daktari for a week of environmental education.

Greetings from Daktari!! We have 3 new additions to Daktari since our last update.... Firstly we have May, a female Caracal. She's a big hit with our two male Caracals and teases them through the fence that seperates them! We were called out to rescue Gerri Junior, a Juvenile Spotted Eagle owl who had crash landed and...

Introducing Mister Gucci Bijou, the new lovable little rogue at Daktari. He's such a little character, and has already won the hearts of all the staff and volunteers! He's still finding his place amongst the other dogs. Bullet tolerates him, as he's too old and tired to play, he just lets him run around and do his own...

So far this year we have hosted 75 children, raised/released various animals, including squirrels, dassies and birds, and done wonderful things at the schools with our Daktari Outreach Programme.
