Kaluku Neonate Unit



Our eclectic Kaluku orphan herd is doing very well. Everyone develops their own friendships and routines: Some orphans relish group activities, while others prefer to go about their days solo. It has been particularly special to witness Sala become a godmother figure to so many. An orphaned kudu, Sala was rescued in 2017 when she was just days old. Now, she is a stately beauty and living a fully wild life. However, she continues to be involved in our orphan herd. Aside from raising her own wild-born baby, Sala also looks after several of our young orphans, including Munyu and Lali the kudus, and sometimes Fumbi the impala.
