Tumbili Sanctuary
"Every animal that walks the earth, or swims, or flies is precious beyond description, something so rare and wonderful that it equals the stars or the ocean
or the mind of a man.
Animals form an inalienable fragment of nature, and if we hasten the disappearance of even one species we diminish our world and our place in it"
James Michener

Welcome to Tumbili – a sanctuary with a soul and a conscience – owned and run by Dr. Malcolm and Shesh Roberts who are passionate about primates and who share the great belief of Albert Schweitzer that all life is sacred!
Tumbili, which is the Swahili word for Vervet, is primarily a primate sanctuary offering a safe and loving haven for those unfortunate monkeys whom have been irreversibly maimed and damaged by humans yet are capable of leading full qualitative lives – are able to experience relative freedom, nurturing and sociable lives whilst having the protection and security of a sanctuary – where they will never ever experience fear, terror, hunger or suffering again!
Both Malcolm and Shesh are totally committed to the welfare of all living animals and creatures and will offer a safe and loving home to any soul that needs refuge and tender care.
Malcolm and Shesh also share their home with seven dogs – most of them rescues, two rescued goats, two bull calves, two very large Leopard tortoises, two parrots and a little cockatiel. They also have two rescued Wildebeests and a tame Gray Duiker.
Malcolm and Shesh feel privileged to be able to live amongst Giraffes, herds of a large variety of antelope, zebra, jackals, bush babies and genets to name but a few of the beautiful wildlife that reside on the game farm.
