Dear John

Wow! Just look how YOU have transformed Simba’s world… it’s hard to believe these photos are of the same lion, isn’t it?

Having suffered the most appalling start to life, Simba is now safe at his forever home, in Italy, where he’s thriving thanks to specialist, loving care and YOUR generous donations. Your support for our Build Simba a Home appeal has been astonishing, and we’re well on our way to being able to build his permanent, purpose built, 5000m2 enclosure! Filled with natural vegetation, Simba’s new home will be designed to fully meet his needs and large enough to allow him to find privacy, if he chooses, just like lions in the wild.  

Simba is now safe, but still desperately needs your generous help to finish his purpose build enclosure and to provide the expert care this young cub will need. As you know, our work to protect lions like Simba, never stops...

Our team are monitoring the three little lionesses, born to Kanini and sired by the magnificent male Mfalme. Since the cubs are all female, pride numbers are expected to gradually increase, as female cubs remain in their family group, while subadult males leave to find their own pride.
