Wild Is Life & ZEN

Excellent safari experience, creating a nice escape from the city. I’ve visited four times, I’d say the sunset experience is the best. The nearby interaction you can have with the Giraffes is phenomenal. They’re generous with drinks, catering alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages, along with scrumptious sweet treats and savouries.

“An unforgettable experience at Wild Is Life & ZEN!” Visiting Wild Is Life & ZEN was truly magical. The sanctuary is beautifully run, and you can feel the passion for conservation and animal care everywhere you go. Being able to get so close to elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife while learning their stories was moving and inspiring. The team is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, making the whole experience feel personal and meaningful. The setting itself is stunning — calm, natural, and filled with a sense of respect for the animals. Ending the day with sundowners and watching the animals roam free was something I’ll never forget. A must-do when in Harare if you want a unique mix of conservation, beauty, and unforgettable memories.

Absolutely incredible experience. Very surreal, the first view of the animals honestly felt like it was a scene from a movie. The conservation and rehabilitation work being done is amazing, the animals are all healthy, happy and thriving. The space for them is wonderful. The food served was delicious too, catered to dietary requirements and very fancy. There is a small kids playground but honestly between all the animals, there is hardly time for the kids to even want to go play. The experience of feeding the giraffes was a memory of a lifetime and such a rush!! The kids loved it too and only need some encouragement before grabbing branches of leaves to join in. Staff were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. Definitely somewhere I would recommend though it is priced on the high end - $100 per adult and slightly less for children. Money well spent though because the work done is vital and requires lots of time and resources. (No filters were used in pictures, the natural beauty is just astounding) A massive thank you to staff for the care and effort they put in to looking after the animals.

Fantastic experience at Wild is Life. Definitely a must visit whilst in Harare. We got up close feeding the giraffes and meeting the elephants. Lots of animals and wildlife to see, would almost compare it to a mini safari with how up close and personal you can see the animals. They definitely give you a more personalised experience, with afternoon tea & sunset lunch. Staff were professional and knowledgeable about the animals in their care & you could tell they truly care. We even got to meet the cat Barney who was adorable.

Wow what a place! A mixed group here compromising of local Zimbo’s and UK tourists and this place delivered for all. I’ve been fortunate to be a part of many safaris and animal led activity over the years but this was my first time seeing and learning about a pangolin! Fascinating creatures. You don’t have a long time here so it’s important you make the most of it. It is mostly your guide led with a break for a cream team in the middle of your visit, in the most quirky, bougie of team rooms. This place is all about the conservation and protection of animals and they come first, before is tourists. I have so much time for this ethos - it’s how it should be! A great visit and fond memories for all.

Visiting Wild is Life was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I’d stepped into a peaceful sanctuary, a place where animals are not only cared for, but truly loved. The experience was intimate and unhurried, allowing me to connect deeply with each of the rescued animals, from elephants and giraffes etc. The team’s passion and knowledge were inspiring. You could feel the heart behind every story they shared stories of rescue, resilience, and hope. One of the highlights for me was walking alongside the giraffes at golden hour. It was more than a visit, it felt like an immersion into a world where humans and wildlife coexist with quiet respect and tenderness.

I had a great afternoon at Wild is Life. I got to see the lions being fed and learnt new facts about some of the animals. Perfect for the entire family

I enjoyed feeding the giraffes, they were very friendly. A good high tea though with too many sweets. A morning well spent
