About Dean Schneider:
I am a 30-year old Swiss guy, who dedicated his entire life to the animal world! Nowadays, I live in Africa, I am a member of a lion pride, my wife is a hyena and I’m a daddy of two monkeys. Besides that, I have built a global voice for our planet’s wildlife over the past two years!

Born in Switzerland (Zurich) on October 3, 1992, I was blessed to grow up in a loving family with my sister (one year older) and my parents, who were always very supportive and loving. My mother is originally from the Balkan region (Southeastern Europe), while my dad is a Swiss citizen. I discovered my deep passion for wildlife at the age of six or seven, through the legendary Steve Irwin! He was the one who brought wildlife into my living room in Zurich and inspired and educated me about all kinds of different animal species.

Even though I was so passionate about animals, I originally followed a very ordinary path to adulthood, eventually ending up in the finance industry as a financial advisor. After a very successful year, I decided to found my own company, which then, over the next three years, allowed me to generate the financial foundation to launch the Hakuna Mipaka project at the age of 23-24.

After starting my life in South Africa additional financial support form my Family allowed me to evolve and develop the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis for 2 Years without having to depend on any income sources such as offering touristic visits / programs, breeding or trading of animals, donations or any other monetary businesses!

About Hakuna Mipaka:
The Hakuna Mipaka Oasis is located on around 400 hectares (four million square meters) in the wilderness of South Africa! It is home to thousands of different wild animal species! Besides that, the oasis also serves as a life-long home to a few rescued wild animals, which were born in captivity! We also do rehabilitation programs with different animals, which are then being released back into the wild.

The Hakuna Mipaka Oasis is my personal home and a private sanctuary that is NOT open to the public. We don’t cater to tourists and don’t allow any day visits or animal activities! We don’t breed animals and we are also not trading animals. I built this place for animals and not for humans. The Hakuna Mipaka oasis is a secure, wild & lifelong home to the animals that live here.

If excitement is education, , then those girls have it in spades!!! In this day an age we shouldn't still be seeing children living such hard lives!! Thank you Dean for what your doing.

What a fascinating man committing and connecting with these joyous children, with wild animals and educating everyone he comes into contact Schneider, you are an outstanding human being, much respect to you". 💪🧡😊

[helen_h]

Full respect to you Dean for your care and compassion. Not just for the animals you live with and care for but for all the hard work you put into teaching others and helping them learn to care and respect the animals that share our planet.

Learning and understanding can change the world in every way..Adults need to take responsibility of the mess, attitude towards our planet.. Its the 21st century.. We still have poverty, inequalities, greed. We should be disappointed of ourselves. I don't want my kids learning about our beautiful, magical animals, nature from books or pictures. Companies, governments and people need to do more, change mind set. About who has got to solve it, no more pointing fingers at each other.
Humans can do incredible things when they work together for good and we have multiple times.
As adults we at least owe that to the children of the world to do it now! We shouldn't be looking at our kids and saying it's their problems to fix because we are tired, lazy. Us adults are not dead yet so let's take action and resolve the issues, save our home/animals/nature! ❤ thank you Dean Schneider ...you are true hero leading the way!❤

[solesquash]

The impact that educators such as yourself will forever be underrated! I'm sure you inspired a large amount of those children to share your passion for wildlife conservation.

“Education is all about excitement” something so true, but something which is sorely lacking amoung the world

On ne peut pas s'empêcher de t'aimer Dean Schneider en te voyant parmi ces enfants qui semblent si heureux d'être avec toi. Et en te voyant avec tous ces animaux qui te font confiance et qui ont tellement de tendresse pour toi. Je compare souvent les enfants et les animaux. Ils sont purs et sincères et fragiles aussi. Et toi tu les comprends d'instinct et tu leur apportes tellement d'amour et de joie... Je suis contente que tu existes là bas, quelque part en Afrique du Sud. Bonne chance Dean !
Je crains que tu lises jamais ce message car tu dois en recevoir tellement ! Et tu es très occupé... 💓

Mate your smile alone is enough to lift people

In my opinion, animals are quite easy to communicate, they are always more honest and sincere than humans.
