From the frontline to ‘freedom’ – Tsar & Jamil arrive at Shamwari

Tsar and Jamil undertook a mammoth 8,000-mile journey from their temporary home with our friends at Natuurhulpcentrum in Belgium to their lifetime home at our sanctuary. Their early life was full of suffering – born into captivity, sold to an ostrich farm, stuck in a warzone. But, thanks to the efforts of so many passionate people and organisations, they have an incredible future ahead of them. We cannot thank our fantastic partners enough – without them, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you to Natuurhulpcentrum, British Airways Holidays, Cargolux and Shamwari Private Game Reserve. Watch their epic journey – including the moment they took their first steps into their new home. For more information, visit
