This is one of the worlds only domesticated zebra’s. We saw it at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.

We got to see this stunningly beautiful tiger at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. The first image was taken as close as it looks, and no, there was no cage protecting me! We had to sit with our butts firmly planted against the edge of his cage, while the sanctuary worker took this majestic beast for a walk past us. The tiger seemed quite chilled out and happy for us to be there. My camera was maybe 30 cm from it’s face when the picture was taken. The other photos were taken safely behind a cage however.

We saw this amazing lions at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.

This amazing little puma was locked in a tiny little cage at Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary. This looked harsh, but his carers explained that he had been injured when sent from a zoo to their sanctuary as he didn’t cope well with being caged like that. So they were training him to be around humans whilst locked in a small cage, so that he wouldn’t injure himself in transit again. He had to make another trip to his final destination in South Africa.

We saw this adorable lemur at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary.

Up close and personal with a hyena at the Cheetah Rock wildlife sanctuary in Zanzibar.

Basia and I visited Cheetah Rock, an animal sanctuary in Zanzibar. Unsurprisingly, a cheetah is the main attraction. This particular Cheetah will never be able to return to the wild due to being too domesticated, but this thankfully meant that we were allowed to pet him. I took over camera duties rather than petting the Cheetah 🙂
