Dear all,
As a wildlife orphanage, DAKTARI has the honour and privilege to raise abandoned animals and take care of them until they can be released, which is an important yet challenging role to take on.
Let us tell you the amazing story of Nyalou the Nyala, and how we played a major role in giving him a chance in life after such a difficult start.
4 years ago, Michèle our co-founder received a call that a baby Nyala had been left alone by his mom for two days in the bush and was desperate for help. Without hesitation, the baby was welcomed to the family and named Nyalou.
Taking care of a baby antelope comes with a lot of challenges, as the milk has to be given at a specific temperature and the antelope has to be comfortable enough to drink from the bottle. If any of these factors are not met, the outcome could be fatal.
