Synopsis
This is the true story of the Harnas Lion Farm in Namibia and of the extraordinary sacrifices and experiences which the Van der Merwe family has undergone to save from persecution hundreds of wild animals including forty lions, leopards and cheetah. A story of a young girl and her beloved lion, Mufasa, and the tragedy which can tear a family apart. The tale of Bagheera the crippled cheetah who captured peoples' hearts. A rich tapestry woven through with death, danger, mistakes and rescues. It is an eloquent protest against the ongoing loss of wild habitat and destruction of wildlife in Southern Africa.

A great read for all who love wildlife and Africa!
21. April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
What a pleasure to read a story about wildlife rehabiliation written by authors who really know what they are talking about. I have worked in animal welfare for over 20 years, including at Director level for the World Society for the Protection of Animals and as co-founder of World Animal Net, and I can thoroughly recommend this book to anybody else who - like me - loves Africa and its wildlife. The trials and tribulations of running a wildlife sanctuary are honestly and successfuly presented within an interesting and enlightening historical case study - which is as gripping as any novel. The authors established their own successful rehabilitation centre in the Kalahari, which I had the pleasure to visit. They know and understand their subject, and are totally dedicated to the wlldlife cause ... so much so that the proceeds for selling this book are being put towards the Campaign Against Canned Hunting, which they now run. So: You buy and enjoy a book; The money goes to help ban canned hunting. How 'win-win' is that?!

BBC Wildlife magazine review
19. April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Review published in BBC Wildlife magazine
This book relates the working history of the Harnas Lion Farm in Namibia and the personal history of its founder, Marieta van der Merwe and her family. The book is characterised by an authenticity apparent to anyone who has worked in animal rescue centres - especially those continually struggling for funding. The authors - themselves founders and managers of a wildlife rehab centre in the Kalahari - make no attempt to paint a rosy picture of wildlife rehabilitation, detailing mistakes made, organisational short comings, the value of volunteers and the chaotic nature of sanctuary life.
Dotted throughout is information about animal behaviour, the nature of the Kalahari desert and the appalling lack of rights afforded to wild animals in Southern Africa. This absorbing book is at times moving, depressing, amusing, informative and uplifting.
Working with wildlife is not all fun, it makes clear, but if you want to know how it really is - warts and all - then this is the book for you.
