A day of veterinary and dental checks, by Dr. Peter Caldwell and Pro Gerhard Steenkamp, at ADIWS has gone well.

It’s the first veterinary day at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary with Dr. Peter Caldwell and Prof. Gerhard Steenkamp as the tigers and lions get health checks and any dental work needed.

Our VIP guests Lei-ah and Elsa are enjoying the spring weather (yes, it’s spring in South Africa) at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary and looking forward to Halloween!

Lupe is one of several tigers ADI rescued from a circus in Guatemala who have suffered from seizures, believed to be the result of in-breeding possibly made worse by early age malnutrition.

THANK YOU for making the 2026 ADI Auction a success, raising over $2,100 for the rescued animals at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary!

Our rescued big cats deserve a treat, and Coco certainly thought so last Halloween! The moment he spotted his pumpkin, he was off like a rocket. One giant leap, and he had it in his jaws before racing across the grass with his prize!

Can you believe it’s seven years ago this month that our lion king Kesari came into our lives at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary?

At the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, we rescue animals big and small. Our residents enjoy lifelong care and protection, including birds like peacocks, chickens, guinea fowl, geese, owls, springboks and other antelope, rescued cows, donkeys, goats, pigs, and more.

Over a dozen amazing artists have generously donated more than 35 beautiful works of art along with a few special goodies from local businesses – all for you to bid on with all funds raised will go to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary to care for our 33 lions and tigers as well as horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, geese, peacocks, cows, a couple of springbok, owls, and a huge number of tortoises!
