Emergency Appeal: South Africa Floods

Hey everyone, Ty here!

2026 decided to throw us a curveball right out of the gate. We’ve had some wild flooding in our Kruger community, and let’s just say things got surreal—we’ve got lions adapting to swimming, and the landscape has completely shifted. It’s been a crazy, challenging start to the year.

The real danger behind the flood While it’s wild to see the lions taking to the water, the real tragedy is what the floodwaters left behind. The perimeter fencing—our vital line of defense that keeps our rhinos and other incredible wildlife safe from poachers—has been completely washed away.

With the fences down, we’ve had to evacuate people from the area, and our wildlife is now incredibly vulnerable. This isn't just about repairs; it’s a race against time to get that security back up before the poachers realize the "doors" are wide open. We’ve got to protect these animals, and we’ve got to do it now.

The mission: Getting the fence back up We are throwing everything we have into rebuilding that perimeter. It’s extensive, it’s urgent, and it’s expensive—but there is absolutely no other option. These animals are counting on us.

Little by Little: The Power Play! This is where you come in, and the timing couldn't be more critical. The Little by Little campaign is happening from March 17th – 20th, and GlobalGiving is 50% matching all donations up to $50, while matching funds remain.

• A $50 donation from you turns into $75 for us.

• Every single dollar is going straight toward fencing materials and security teams to keep our rhinos safe.

These matching funds disappear incredibly fast, so please save the date and jump in on the 17th. Your support is literally the barrier between our wildlife and disaster. Let’s get this fence back up and keep our Kruger family safe!

Stay awesome,
