A Tough Year – Help Us Keep the HM Oasis Going

The Hakuna Mipaka Oasis is a registered wildlife sanctuary in South Africa that gives wild animals born in captivity a lifelong, natural home. This year has been one of the hardest we have ever faced – please help us get our animals safely through to the new year.

I’m taking you with me into this world full of excitement, fascination, emotions, and crazy moments where you will learn alongside with me how to love, respect, understand and protect the natural world and it's beautiful beings.
HAKUNA MIPAKA OASIS
The Oasis is my personal home and private sanctuary and not open to the public. On over 400 hectare pure African wilderness, thousands of different wild animal species like giraffes, leopards, antelopes, wilder beasts, baboons, hyenas, snakes, birds, and reptiles enjoy their best life.
DONATE NOW
100% of the donations are benefiting the animals at the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis without any marketing-, flight-, or content production costs being deducted. The costs which need to be covered are such as vet bills, food for the animals, costs for security guards and animal caretakers, electricity, maintenance work on the camps and much more.
