“Find me where the wild things are.”
My journey to WWR began at the age of 14 when I fell in love with lions on a trip through Zambia. I wasn't sure then where my work with big cats would take me, and it’s taken me down many hard roads since, but I’ve never once looked back.
The gates of my family farm were opened as a sanctuary for abused and displaced big cats in 2012, after nearly two years of non-stop persistence to fund, build and sanction the sanctuary. There have been over 45 big cats in my care since; some have had temporary residence while others have made this their permanent home.
What started out as an almost impossible dream became a reality. Ten years on after being solely dedicated to big cats, I decided to open my home to all wildlife in need of sanctuary. My walk with lions is far from finished, and my walk with the rest of the animal kingdom has just begun.
