What is An Eye for the Wild?
An Eye for the Wild is a small, family-run wildlife rehabilitation centre on the Mvuma Road outside Kwekwe. Reviews describe it as a safe haven for injured and orphaned wild animals, with the family rehabilitating those they can and releasing them back into the wild. Children are in awe of the horses and the close-up animal encounters, and families can camp on the vast land surrounded by wildlife, enjoy a bonfire, and hear animals walking by at night. The game drive may be limited to impala, so the real highlight is the sanctuary tour and the personal stories.
