Marcel was born at Nairobi Safari walk in October 2005. He was brought to the animal orphanage on 16th January 2006 and named Marcel. He made great friends with Muriu.

Sneaky likes to tease orphanage staff when they come to clean his pool, he is very protective of his territory. He grins a lot for attention but he is very playful often tagging at his friends who clean his pool.

Benin is a small monkey with a dark face and a distinctive white nose. He is a very curious and chirpy spot-nosed monkey who enjoys attracting the attention of people with his Staccato calls. He is named after his home Benin, in Sierra Leone in West Africa where he was captured and packed in a crate destined for Egypt, where he was to be sold along with other primates. However, when the plane landed in Kenya on transit, KWS confiscated the illegal shipment as there were no official transportation and sale documents for the primates.

Talek was found near the Maasai Mara Talek gate at a campsite when he was about 2wks old. He was discovered by a Chinese visitor, Dai Watakabe who informed the Narok county council and the KWS rangers. The long ride to the orphanage left him very exhausted but he was given very good care and he recovered and is now very strong and likes to play with people. He loves attention.

In the wild they are known to be elusive animals, constantly on the prowl for unaware prey. Tiva, Misty, and Sharon; three once adorable sibling cheetah cubs, and now fully matured adults, are fun loving, constantly active and enjoy the company of people. The cats were brought in from Tsavo East National park on the 26th of August 2003, after they lost their mother when they were only a couple of weeks old. Their Progress required constant monitoring, as they were being bottle fed day and night after every 4 hours. Exercising was crucial to their survival in the orphanage, as they would succumb to being lazy if none of this was to have been carried out. Thus dolls and teddies did the trick and have become their favorite past time sports.
