Sharing Wildlife Wisdom

Posted on Wed November 26, 2025.

Earlier this month, Animal Caregivers Pippa Fourie, Suanne Hugo and Kevin Slabbert visited Little Bo Peep Pre-Primary School for a gentle and engaging educational talk. The visit formed part of our ongoing outreach programme, where we introduce young children to wildlife, conservation, and the importance of caring for the natural world.

The classroom was filled with excited faces, eager questions, and a genuine curiosity about animals. Pippa and Kevin guided the children through simple, age-appropriate topics such as animal habitats, how different species communicate, and why protecting wildlife matters. Their calm approach and warm delivery helped turn complex ideas into enjoyable learning moments.

The highlight of the visit was the children’s interaction with real animal biofacts, such as feathers and tortoise shells. These hands-on elements brought the lesson to life. They encouraged the children to look closely, think carefully, and engage with the world around them in a new way.

Outreach days like this reflect the heart of our educational mission. We believe conservation begins with awareness, and awareness begins with connection. When children learn early, they grow up understanding the value of wildlife and the responsibility we share in protecting it.

Little Bo Peep’s learners left the session inspired, informed, and full of enthusiasm. And Pippa and Kevin returned to the ranch reminded that even the smallest moments can create lasting impact.

If your school or learning group would like to arrange an educational visit, our team is always happy to assist
