We hope that all of our supporters had a wonderful festive season filled with Friends, Family and Happiness!!
We are so looking forward to a wonderful year, surrounded by our amazing animals and of course you guys!
This Christmas we are so blessed to have a wonderul group of volunteer with us, always ready to jump out and help with anything that needs to be done :) (Actually every Christmas!) Its so nice to share Christmas time with people who very quickly become family!!
The animals were of course spolied at Christmas with different enrichments, bubble bath in the swimming pool for the hyenas, Scented cardboard boxes and hessian bags for the leopards, Lots of running and scent enrichment for the cheetahs!
In addition we managed to get a lot of things done, such as cleaning out the tigers swimming pool with the new petrol pressure washer! Before we received the pressure washer we had to scrub with brishes and buckets of soapy water which took so much time, and Fushan never seemed to have enough patience to stay in the feeding camp long enough for us to do a really good job!
The pressure washer was also really helpful for both the duck and hyena swimming pools too!
Fushan still loves receiving his daily medications from the volunteers, they also love to get so close to him!!
The leopards were lucky enough to receive brand new boxes from 2 ouf our volunteers, they came up over Christmas from Bloemfontein to build each of the leopards a box. The leopards love to lay on them!
We also had quite a lot of rainy days! This was also a blessing as nature needs the rain!! It had also been so very hot that it was nice to see the animals enjoying the cooler days!!
Thank you all so much for your continued support!!! We appreciate all that you do for us and the animals!!
Thank you from Riana and the team
