Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage
Chipangali
A wildlife rescue centre founded in 1973 that takes in injured or abandoned animals, including lions, leopards, hyenas and birds of prey.
Chipangali was founded in 1973 by former game warden Vivian Wilson and his wife. It lies about 23 km southeast of Bulawayo, along the Esigodini Road. It is a non-profit wildlife rescue and education organisation that takes in orphaned, injured, confiscated or non-releasable animals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, primates and many birds of prey. Animals that can be released are returned to the wild. Visitors can tour the grounds and animal enclosures, and admission fees support the rescue work. Operations have changed in recent years, so confirm opening hours before you go.
