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. 

 

Chipangali Wildlife

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.

Jozef Behr Claims That Chiremba Balancing Rock of Zimbabwe Has A Jaw dropping View

Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock.   I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel.   Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequen...

Why Travelers never turn their back on Zimbabwe?

The Mighty Victoria Falls, Matopo Hills, Great Zimbabwe Monuments, and wildlife in Hwange, Zambezi, Mana Pools, and Gonarezhou National Parks are just a few of the natural and man-made attractions that Zimbabwe is endowed with.   Jozef Behr , a regular visitor to Zimbabwe, stated on his travel blog, “It's a marvel that so many travelers never make it past Victoria Falls since some of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife, most trained guides, and finest all-around values lie just beyond its roaring depths”.       According to Jozef Behr ’s article, the greatest time to visit Zimbabwe is between June and November, when animals, particularly birds, visit the Mana Pools along the Zambezi River to drink water.     The amount of hospitability, the sincere feeling of welcome, and the general service and contact experience from the Zimbabweans many travelers become frequent t raveler to this destination. They are so full of hope and optimism for what th...

Jozef Behr Helped me Explore the Beauty of Chinhoyi Caves: A Hidden Gem of Zimbabwe

“The first time I visited this place, I could not believe my eyes. This amazing blue water pool is magnificent and has a jaw-dropping scenic view” says Jozef Behr, a local tourist guide.   The Chinhoyi Caves, a peaceful local attraction, welcome visitors with fresh air and chirping birds. On the tiny pedestrian lanes, families and schoolchildren pass each other. Others are hurrying to enter the caverns in order to see the famed pool, while others emerge from the tunnels fatigued from their walk up and down the steep road.   While exploring the Chinhoyi Caves Jozef Clifford Behr told me that “One of the nicest things about visiting the caverns is that you'll almost certainly have them all to yourself to appreciate in underground peace” and I really felt that.    Only the tip of the iceberg is visible to tourists. In a complicated limestone structure, the caverns go on for miles underground. Scuba crews have plunged to depths of almost 300 feet because the water ...
