Our vision: to promote the survival of the free-ranging Southern African cheetah through Environmental Education and in-situ conservation.
FAREWELL RAFIKI (6 MAY 2014 - 17 APRIL 2024) - It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Rafiki. Unfortunately he had been unstable the past three weeks, requiring fluid therapy for chronic renal failure at an increasing frequency. Sadly he rapidly deteriorated the past 48 hours. We intervened and repeated diagnostics - the results indicated irreversible kidney disease, much worse than expected when compared to January. We have followed advice from veterinarian(s) versus putting him through further ups and downs with no response to treatment.
Rafiki leaves behind his brother Ebony, who we will do the utmost to keep in good mental welfare through this difficult phase and for the future.
"Today, we honor the life of Rafiki, a spark of mischief and joy who left an indelible mark on our hearts. With a twinkle in his eye that could charm the stars, Rafiki lived life on his own terms with his stunningly smart mind and sensitive spirit.
Rafiki's greatest love was his brother, Ebony. Their bond was unbreakable, a testament to the power of kinship and sibling love. They were a dynamic duo, co-conspirators in mischief since cubhood, and still sought out opportunity to entertain us with their antics in their senior years.
Though Rafiki may have left us too soon, we take comfort in knowing his memory and legacy will live on, and we will cherish the many happy moments we shared with him in this life while we hold his brother Ebony, close to our hearts. Let us remember his mischievous spirit and wily ways today. Rest in peace, our dear Rafiki." - Savannah
