The Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and Orphanage was established with a deep commitment to conservation, wildlife welfare and community engagement. Located in the heart of Zimbabwe’s wilderness, the sanctuary was born out of a need to provide refuge and rehabilitation for orphaned, injured or displaced elephants affected by human-wildlife conflict and other environmental challenges.

The sanctuary’s journey began in the 1990s, inspired by a vision to create a safe haven for Africa’s iconic elephants while fostering coexistence between wildlife and local communities. Over the years, Wild Horizons has rescued numerous elephants, many of whom have formed strong bonds with their human caretakers and other elephants in the sanctuary. These majestic animals are cared for by an experienced team dedicated to providing a natural and nurturing environment that prioritizes their well-being. A cornerstone of the sanctuary’s philosophy is education and awareness. Visitors are invited to learn about the complexities of elephant conservation, the challenges faced by these gentle giants, and the importance of preserving their habitats. The sanctuary also emphasizes sustainable tourism, ensuring that its operations contribute to the conservation of elephants and the empowerment of surrounding communities.

Today, the Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary stands as a beacon of hope and a model of responsible conservation. It continues to protect elephants, foster understanding, and inspire future generations to value and safeguard Africa’s wildlife heritage.
