Time for the grand finale. It’s been three months since the orphaned baby owls arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary and together, we have watched as they have been nursed, nurtured and learned to fly.  Now it is time for them to fly to freedom and their new lives.

There is a lot to take in when you are a young lion discovering a completely new world. BenTzur and Ori arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa just a few weeks ago, following their journey out of Israel.

It is always special seeing the different animals coming to our lake in the morning. The horses are often the first to gallop up and join the ducks and geese on the lake, and then comes the long procession of our eleven rescued donkeys, including the new foal.

It’s been three months since the four owl chicks arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary and we are on the brink of them spreading their wings and returning to the wild.

BenTzur enjoys a great big yawn followed by Ori as they settle down for the night in their house at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, South Africa.

Time seems to have flown since BenTzur and Ori lives touched down at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa. It took a lot to get them here, but the boys are definitely home and loving it!

It was two years ago this summer that the #Kuwait6 arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, our first major operation supporting cracking down on the illegal #TrophyPet business.

Like most lions and tigers, BenTzur loves to climb up high to check out his surroundings.  Being apex predators, they do not fear sitting out in the open and love views.

Never forget Ori and BenTzur’s journey home from Tel Aviv to Cairo to Frankfurt to Johannesburg and finally the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, with our new fundraising T-shirt and hoodie launched today.

Ori was always the shy, quiet one of the two young lions who arrived at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary from Israel last week. The team from Israel’s Nature & Parks Authority and the zoo that cared for him said that it was thanks to BenTzur, acting as a big brother, that Ori had first started to gain some confidence. During last week’s journey with the ADI team, BenTzur was full of confidence whereas Ori was wary.
