Wild Is Life
Wild Is Life Trust
A wildlife rescue centre near the airport that requires advance booking for an afternoon-tea visit, where you can meet rescued elephant orphans, giraffes, pangolins and more.
Wild Is Life is a wildlife rescue and conservation organisation located near Harare International Airport. It takes in injured, abandoned or confiscated animals, including giraffes, cheetahs, lions, pangolins and various birds of prey. It also works with the affiliated Zimbabwe Elephant Nursery (ZEN). Visits must be booked in advance and are usually afternoon 'high tea tours', during which staff share the story of each animal. The fee is fairly high (around US$100), and the proceeds go toward conservation. Tea and snacks are included, and walk-in visits are not accepted. A private car from the city centre takes about 30 minutes.
