Wild is Life Sanctuary is a private wildlife rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary located on the outskirts of Harare, Zimbabwe, approximately 10 to 20 minutes from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in the northern suburbs. It is positioned on a secure property setting that supports controlled, guided visitor experiences focused on conservation and animal care.
The sanctuary operates as a working rescue centre for orphaned and injured wildlife, including elephants, giraffe, antelope species, primates, and select predators under rehabilitation programs. Visits are strictly by pre-booking and are conducted as guided tours with set morning and afternoon departures.
Activities are structured around educational walking experiences through the sanctuary, including supervised animal viewing and feeding moments where permitted. Guests typically encounter giraffe feeding, elephant interactions at a safe distance, and viewing of other resident species under the guidance of trained staff. The experience is positioned as interpretive rather than safari-based game viewing.
Facilities on site include basic visitor amenities such as bathroom facilities located within the main guest area. These are accessible during scheduled tours. The terrain is generally manageable for most visitors, with short walking sections along defined paths. It is suitable for most mobility levels, although assistance may be required in certain areas depending on conditions.
Dining is part of the experience rather than a standalone restaurant offering. Visits include pre-arranged hospitality elements such as high tea or light refreshments served during or after the tour, depending on the session time. There are no independent dining facilities or accommodation on site for general visitors.
Wild is Life is fully accessible by standard vehicles without the need for 4×4 transport. The access road is straightforward from the airport and city suburbs, supporting short-stay itineraries and same-day arrival visits.
