We support the objectives of the SanWild Wildlife Trust and all that this wildlife rehabilitation center stands for. With very limited resources and a lot of drive and initiative they have managed to create a haven for injured, sick, orphaned and unwanted wild animals. A dedicated team ensures that the all the animals’ veterinary and psychological needs are met at all times. SanWild have become a safe and permanent home for a wide range of wild animals and the obvious trust between people and animals (both free ranging and in rehab) are quite amazing. At SanWild one can clearly observe that one person’s dream indeed have become many peoples passion.

However, the success of Louise's rehabilitation programs has resulted in the wildlife sanctuary starting to become overcrowded with some species and it is essential that the reserves of 2700ha be increased as soon as possible. Up to now certain species such as elephant cannot not be accepted for rehabilitation as the reserve is simply too small to accommodate them and support the home ranges required by these magnificent animals.
Fortunately an opportunity to buy a piece of African bush adjoining the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary is now possible. Acquiring this additional land will ensure that the reserve will be large enough to provide a safe and ecologically viable area for the animals. SanWild, however, does not have the financial means to be able to buy this land.

AfriTrust would love to help Louise realize her dreams of creating a wildlife sanctuary where the animals can roam free, safe from the human interference that resulted in them needing rehabilitation. You can help us achieve that dream. For $100, you can buy half an acre of pristine African bush that will be held in trust for the benefit of the animals themselves. Our aim is to buy 9000 acres of land, to be incorporated into the current SanWild wildlife sanctuary, and to give her animals a chance at living the natural and safe life that was cruelly taken from them.
