Matabeleland Animal Rescue & Equine Sanctuary was originally opened just over eighteen years ago under the name Matabeleland Horse Rescue. It was a Voluntary Private Organisation formed in the early 2000’s during the land claims where many farmers were kicked off their farms and were unable to take their animals, including horses. In 2018, after assisting in the closure of a donkey abattoir in Bulawayo, we registered our welfare to include Donkeys and our welfare name became Matabeleland Animal Rescue & Equine Sanctuary (MARES). Our focus is going into the rural areas on education/outreach clinics as well as changing ill fitting harnesses for our humane padded harnesses and teaching donkey welfare. In Bulawayo our sanctuary, which is actually a rehabilitation centre, is primarily for injured or confiscated donkeys where, if too injured to go back into work, are found loving forever homes as pets.

Matobo National Park is in southwest Zimbabwe. It’s known for the Matobo Hills, a range of balancing rock formations created by erosion of the granite plateau. The walls of Nswatugi Cave feature Stone Age rock art. The park has significant populations of black eagles and both black and white rhinos. The grave of Cecil Rhodes, founder of former British colony Rhodesia, is carved into the summit of Malindidzimu

Matusadona National Park gets its name from the rolling Matusadona hills that form part of its water rich landscape. Flanked by Lake Kariba in the north, and two perennial rivers, the Ume and the Sanyati, this remote and rugged park is the first in Zimbabwe to fall under the African Parks mandate. Proclaimed a National Park in 1975, it was once a conservation stronghold for African elephant and black rhino, and a sought-after tourism destination. But over the years, financial resources slowly diminished and poor management impacted the parks’ wildlife. Limited road networks and manpower left some areas entirely unpatrolled resulting in rampant poaching which virtually eliminated the black rhino population and severely reduced the elephant population. While Matusadona’s wildlife has suffered, fortunately its integrity as a wilderness landscape has remained undiminished, providing an exceptional opportunity for this park to be restored.

Mbizi Game Reserve & Lodges is a privately owned establishment spanning over 1 000 acres. A place that has been termed as a “…haven of peace and tranquility…” Mbizi was built by the hard working couple of Mervyn & Barbara Senior in 1991.

The name Mbizi brings about a sense of ethnic beauty and grace to the Park. The buildings have a grass thatch on the roof and have been furnished with original railway sleeper on the inside. The exquisite furnishings are made with local teak of particular interest is the five meter long dining table in the guest’s dining room of the main lodge.

Both of these critically endangered species are carefully monitored and protected within the Conservancy.

We rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife harmed by people.

“Wild is Life” has a long history and has grown exponentially over the past twenty years. From the humble beginnings of a few rescued wild orphans in our back yard, we have grown into the quality Animal Sanctuary that we are today. We are a genuine Wildlife Sanctuary, catering for injured, orphaned and rescued wildlife, as well as Endangered and Specially protected species. Our beginnings can be traced back to 1998, when we only had small creatures such as duiker and mongoose. We then grew substantially during the rocky and disturbing times of Zimbabwe, where we opened our arms to numerous species of wild mammals that needed a safe haven from the chaos that was prevailing. “Wild is Life” consists of two branches, namely The Wild is Life Trust, and the Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery.
