N/a’an ku sê believes that the wild belongs in the wild and we direct all our efforts
towards long term rehabilitation. But sadly not all of the animals who come to N/a‘an ku sê
are able to be released back into the wild. Only those that can‘t, mostly for reasons of
human impact, remain at the sanctuary. Many of the animals have been orphaned, hand raised from
a very young age or have become too used to captivity. It would be difficult and dangerous for
them to survive in the wild as they are no longer afraid of people which in turn means they are
at higher risk of conflict.
»»» We currently provide a safe sanctuary for lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild
dogs, caracals and baboons all within large purpose built enclosures. Our wildlife volunteers
help to ensure their welfare through feeding and enclosure patrols. Find out more about
our animals.
»»» There are a variety of animals located on the farm who need to be cared for
by our wildlife volunteers including: semi-tame meerkats, pigs, sheep, guinea fowl, chickens,
turkeys, leopard tortoises, rabbits and lots of dogs.
»»» Our baboons form a large part of the project; volunteers become surrogate
mums for the little ones, bottle feeding and sleeping overnight with them. They also go for
walks with any babies currently at the sanctuary and our tame bigger baboons. We cannot predict
when young baboons will arrive at the sanctuary so the numbers and ages may vary.
»»» You may be lucky enough to spot some of the other wildlife freely roaming
in their natural environment on the farm including; leopards, cheetahs, game (kudu, oryx,
hartebeest, duiker), wart hogs, porcupine, aardvark, ostriches, caracals, jackals, wild
baboons, African wild cats, hares, mongoose, meerkats, vultures, eagles, and various other bird
species.
Our aim is to provide volunteers with the wonderful opportunity of experiencing unspoiled
African wilderness in the knowledge that they are contributing to both the conservation
and development in this rural area. Find out what activities
you will take part in as a wildlife volunteer, visit our gallery
to see pictures of our animals, the amazing scenery and past volunteers getting stuck in and
read some our volunteer stories.
Volunteers are key to the success of this special place. All the money raised through our
volunteering program goes directly back into the project which provides employment, education
and accommodation to the local Bushman community and ensuring the rescue, survival and
rehabilitation of the animals which are housed in natural environments around the site.
N/a‘an ku sê is committed to playing a key role in
conservation and the protection of the Namibian wildlife, land and people.
