The lions at the sanctuary are frequently shuffled between enclosures to ensure they have plenty of new scents and sights to discover and explore. But it’s not always clear sailing…

The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his KZread Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.
Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.
By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.

I realize this is going to sound silly.... Watching these videos have actually helped me understand my domestic house cat rescue and his behaviors. He was neglected and poorly socialized. Through Kevin Richardson’s discussions, I look for similar traits in my rescue and have implemented enrichment walks. He loved them and has really curbed his aggression. Thank you. 🐾🌺🐾

aw,.so nice to hear,.I love my Cat,..actually offends him by calling him as if he's an animal,.my kitty looks at us eye to eye when we are talking,.I don't get how anyone doesn't talk to their friends(furry)..they love it..and always have their diner and treats out,.they should never have to wait till their human wants to give them something,.My baby regulates on his own,.he's more conscientious then humans,.even looks at what we're eating, never has he jumped on anything either only on his pads, cat tree,.or his areas where he enjoys relaxing, and enjoys taking me out for walks if he wants..he's 12 and still plays like a child. especially hide and seek..sorry I could go on,.but just wanted to tell you how it was nice to hear about your kitty, he's smarter then any human.

I am a simple guy, I see a man cuddling with lions I subscribe!!!
I remember helping to shuffle the lions when I got to go volunteer. Kevin was telling us how each group has preferences for how they are loaded (ie, certain lions must go first, some will unhesitatingly jump into the cage, others will take their time). But, true to what Kevin is saying at the end of this video, the lions had their own plans during that shuffle. I think moving George and Yame was the most remarkable; George just bounded in and out of the vehicle like it was no big deal. Kevin remarked that he usually needs help due to the weaknesses in his back legs, but he decided to show off that day I guess, haha. There was also another group that, of their own volition, loaded in an unusual order that would normally result in more than one or two trips but caused no problems that particular move day. Again, Kevin let us know that it was unusual and that despite everything he knew about these lions through his well-established relationship with them, they could still manage to surprise him in fun ways like this. It was incredible to see and hear Kevin's reactions to these surprises like he is always happy to experience any of the lions changing up the routine with their unique personalities. It was such a pleasure and I hope to go back soon.

Mr. Kevin Richardson, You are an extraordinary man who try to save lions. Thank you for them and your humanity.
Kevin has been interacting with these Lions so closely for so many years and never once was seriously attacked...This is almost unbelievable..The relationship between him and these animals are amazing...
It's amazing they don't even change the mood when you are next to the meat
Last Friday there was no video from you. I just felt sad and silent. Today, I saw the little youtube bell light up. And so I lit up! Dropped everything and saw that the video is going to be a whole 18 minutes!! I jumped till the ceiling! =) You know what this means? It means that to me, personally, *I do not care what the video is about, as long as there is you and lions in it* . You can just sit in the shade and yap about if Meggy pooped today or if Bongani had a hairball. I will listen to it all forgetting to breeze. All I want to see is you and your lions being safe and sound. Learn more from every word you say. That is all from me =) /with love from Sweden and Russia =)

I dont want to be poop on a stick but those are the only ways he cant act because if he acts with aggressive behavior and one of them even takes a little swipe and realizes he is scared he immediately goes from top of the pack to bottom. That's when things get very dangerous.
Kev, you make it look so easy...but it's not! I'm glad there was some cloud cover; it's hot this time of year! You're very loving and understanding of the lions. Bless you, and the entire Lion Whisperer Team!💖🦁💖

We need to give them back their territories and habitats and ecosystems and then leave them alone other than essential aid.
They are beautiful lions. I love when they are jumping in and out of the cars you can see every muscle in their bodies.
Just found your channel the last month or so and became a member. Binged watched all your videos. Would love to see more about the leopards; also what it takes to run the sanctuary on a daily basis, which must be a monumental task! You and your staff are to be applauded for the care you give these wonderful creatures. Don’t worry if you can’t get videos posted on a regular basis, the animals are first priority (although I do enjoy seeing them!).
I love the mood between animals and humans. It's almost magic.
Thanks Kevin! It is great to see the lions and lionesses. Stress, yes important. There is actually eustress which positive stress, the opposite of distress. I would like to see information on the website that has the names and birth dates of each member of the pride. Also the hyenas and the black leopards. Thanks to all of you and your efforts to #savelions 🦁💖👍
Kevin, I absolutely LOVE what you are doing for these magnificent animals. I wanna see this channel to 1 million subscribers. If I could subscribe a million times, I would. Keep up the good work Kevin.
you tell me everytime trough your video that I have to love all the wild animals and those people who rude to me with the heart and kindness. 😍😍
I love the work your doing, thank you for putting out the message out there. I love Animals. Someday i want to meet these Lions.
Beautiful lions, god bless ur hard work
Am I seeing right ? Almost 18minutes long?! Thank you, I will never ever get enough of this channel
At 5:59 I didn’t hear his name but that Lion is HUGE! Absolutely GORGEOUS! All of them! Thank you Kev for all you do!
This is my cure to a broken heart and a depressing life !
The way your channel uses drones is by far the best. Way to go kevin!!
11:50 "Here you can see up close one of Africa's deadliest flying animal, the Dronium Quaderocopterus."
These are the most fortunate lions on this earth. Daddy Kevin, the best friend a lion could ever have.
This man's a real life super heroe for lions. Love ya kevin ❤
I love them
Lions need to have their enclosures but also to go for walks in other areas just like people do. It’s great that the Lion Whisperer is doing that with great applause from audiences and appreciation from the lions.
I like how they jumped into the crate like dogs do when they go out in the car. He seems quite happy too. The brunette coloured male the last jump in did not really seem to want to go. The love the roaring in the background.
I love your lions 🦁 I am a lion person
I love shuffle day videos! Thank you for sharing these!
This is fabulous ! Have learnt so much from Kevin with these beautiful animals ! So lovely and gorgeous with all different personalities. Your loving care and kindness is outstanding ! So enjoy 😊 watching them especially the hyenas. I always thought they were horrible but now I think 🤔 I have fallen in love with hyenas , they are adorable. The black leopards are stunning. Deep appreciation Kevin ! 😃😃😃😃😃
And we have to appreciate Dear Kavin for his hard work, tireless effort and his precious time to protect his babies. I hope kind peple and all animal lovers appreciate and rewarding Kevin great work for protecting these lovely majestic animals. Otherwise they would have been hunt for trophy hunters and disappeared from face of the earth long time ago. May Lord God give him a more strength and encourage blessings to continue his great work as long as he could. We all animal lovers always with him and wish him and his family every great things in his life. God bless again and again forever.
Magnificent👏 Mother nature loves you for what you've been doing for these precious lives my friend🙏 have a great life
Love your walkabouts with the animals, grooming and just watching them interact. Lots more of Bobcat, Ginny, George, Yame, Meg and lovely Amy! Thanks!
What I love most about this channel is Kevin's accent. My dog is a lion (Broholmer) and when she doesn't want to do something, Miss. Diva has her own agenda.

Good to see the lions are well and get to move to different enclosures. It's always something new! Regards :)
I've watched this video many times and I don't know why but I always find it so funny when Delta just sort of sticks his face in the corner and refuses to load. Kevin is indeed very patient!
MEG AND AMY, JUST PURE LOVE.
Sweet And amazing!!!😍😍😍
HI KEVIN 🦁🖑!!!!VERY GOOD JOB MAN👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🦁🖑.CONGRATULATIONS...
Whenever the lions see the loading trucks and you can see them getting excited and start pacing back and forth near the gate in anticipation....I almost can’t take it, its so cute!!! I love these videos. I don’t watch TV, but I love watching these videos.
Meg missed you. Try to limit time you're away to maintain contact remembering you are their father in the family and when fathers are absent the children miss them dearly. You do a fantastic job. A God given purpose and gift. Remember that aswell! Blessings from England.

I became an advocate for animals when I was a kid. A local park had a elephant for the enjoyment of tourists. Only time it was happy was when it got to play in the lake. At 7 years old all I could do is cry.
Thanks Kevin!
Megan an Amy such sweet cooperative girls for the most part they have moods too..I have a st bernard who gets very stubborn but I still win the battle,no so much with a cat!! Lol
Would love a new video of the volunteers program including interviews with them and your wife in her role...please...have a good new year :):)
