Kesari surveys his land at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary. Currently, the only South African-born lion at the sanctuary, majestic Kesari avoided being put up for auction and becoming a target for a trophy hunter, instead coming to ADIWS. Safe, at peace, and free to just be. He lives in Joan & Geoff Phillips Habitat and is friends with neighbors Chino and Coco on one side, and Simba and ReyA on the other. He has a mighty roar, and Ruben used to roar back at him.

As South Africa gears up to ending lion farming, we hope you will help us save others from the canned hunting industry.
