Daktari was created by Michčle and Ian Merrifield,
who registered it as a non-profit company in 2002.
It is an organisation of people who care, not only
for animals and nature, but also for those less fortunate than
themselves.
The word “Daktari” is an indigenous form of the
word “doctor” – one who cares for life.
We
are a wildlife orphanage which uses orphaned wild animals as an
education medium. Volunteers and staff supplement the school curriculum
by giving a hands-on education, in existing school subjects, and at the
same time provide an environmental experience.
The goals of the organization include learning
through working together and improving the quality of life of all
participants, including the animals.
Our mottos are:
“Care for life”
and
“Make a plan”
