The Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage: An Initiative to Give a Home to Wild Animals

We often see or hear news that woods are being cut off, somewhere fire outbreaks in the forest, and because of that many wild animals are being made homeless. This disastrous news reached every ear but not every heart, but Mr. Vivian Wilson, ex-game ranger, and his wife paddy initiated a step to build a shelter home for the orphaned, abandoned and sick wild animals. This initiation led them to build the Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage for wild animals. I, Jozef Behr, took a tour of this orphanage and was amazed to see the hard work of all the volunteers here.

This wildlife orphanage is in southern Africa located in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. When you visit this place, you will see hundreds of species combining birds, mammals, and of course carnivores. A tourist goes through the mammal enclosures to the left of the entryway. The Barry Wilson Aviary, dedicated to the late son of Chipangali founders, is located to the right. Flamingos, peacocks, eagles, owls, and other sorts of birds live in the aviary. Then there's the Carnivores segment, which includes a few lions and leopards. The lions and leopards in the carnivores' part can be seen up close, however they will be confined in a fence. The Judith lookout also provides a great view of the lions. There is also a monkey enclosure, which houses a variety of gorgeous monkeys. Other exhibitions contain snakes and fetuses of other species.

The volunteers in the orphanage did a great job for these animals. They feed them, take good care of the animals when they are sick and provide them with a better environment like forests for their better mental and physical growth. You often see visitors here but it’s not a zoo, it’s an orphanage for the orphaned, abandoned, and sick wild animals.
