Life with this Wildlife nut is amazing. Fierce Lions, orphaned Rhinos and Monkeys, scary Snakes, injured Raptors, majestic Elephants, and many other injured or Endanger Species; Margrit does her part to help them by Helping People Saving Wildlife.

This provided not only enrichment for the monkeys, but also a source of food, making their time at Bambelela as enjoyable as possible before they are released into the wild to live their free life. Over a tonne of corn was very generously provided to the team this week, which will be used to feed the monkeys. With high…
