Wildlife Releases

Sadly, our plans to release a troop of baboons at African Game Lodge did not materialise.  In separating the troop out for release, the baboons became more habituated, and releasing a habituated troop at African Game Lodge would have been courting disaster.

Releasing animals who have been in rehabilitation for a lengthy period is a very complex process, and has to work for the animals, the environment and the people who share the land. Despite this setback, we remain committed to giving animals a second chance in the wild, and to raise awareness about the things people do which cause animals to land up in rehabilitation centres in the first place.
