An unexpected little visitor at Tomo Safari Lodge
On a chilly day at Tomo Safari Lodge, our team noticed the faintest little squeaks coming from inside our curio shop. On closer inspection, we discovered two of the tiniest bushbabies we had ever seen!
We were familiar with their mother, who had often been spotted around the lodge, so our team quickly stepped in to ensure the little ones were moved to a higher, safer spot where their mother could hopefully return and collect them when she was ready.
Sadly, despite our hopes, their mother never returned. With no other option, we knew we needed to intervene to give the little survivors the best possible chance. Tragically, one of the babies did not make it, but we were determined to do everything we could for the remaining little bushbaby.
We reached out to Daktari, a local wildlife rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary, who kindly stepped in to provide the care and attention he needed.
Now, a month later, in November 2026, we are delighted to share some wonderful news: the little bushbaby, affectionately named Tomo by the team at Daktari, is thriving in his new environment!
What started as an unexpected discovery in our curio shop has turned into a very special little story for everyone at the lodge. We are incredibly grateful to Daktari for giving Tomo the care and opportunity he deserves.
A tiny visitor, a big adventure, and a little piece of Tomo that will always stay with us.
