Some arrived as rescues. Others came to the farm through circumstances beyond their control. What they all share is a safe home, dedicated care, and a team committed to their wellbeing.
Through our Adopt a Kop programme, you can sponsor an animal in South Africa and become part of that animal’s ongoing care journey.
Your sponsorship helps support the daily care of the animals at Cornellskop, including specialised nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, habitat maintenance, and the ongoing work required to provide them with a safe and enriching environment.
Whether you choose to support a lion, cheetah, zebra, meerkat, hyena, or one of our many other residents, your contribution plays a meaningful role in helping us continue the work we do.

Every resident at Cornellskop has their own personality, history, and place within the farm. While you’re welcome to sponsor any of our animals, you can get to know some of our best-known residents below.
Mojo
Lion | DOB: 2015 | Male
Mojo is one of the most recognisable residents at Cornellskop. With his impressive mane and deep roar that carries across the valley, he commands attention wherever he goes. Mojo embodies the quiet authority of a mature male lion.
Tummy
Lion | DOB: 2019 | Male
Tummy is one of the younger males in Cornellskop’s pride and shares a close bond with his brother, Stompie. Rescued at just six months old alongside the rest of the pride, he has grown into a strong and confident lion with a curious nature.
Stompie
Lion | DOB: 2019 | Male
Stompie grew up alongside his brother Tummy and the lionesses Whiskers and Mrs Big after being rescued from poor living conditions as a cub. He often prefers to sit back and watch the world around him before deciding whether it deserves his attention.
Mrs Big
Lion | DOB: 2019 | FEMale
As one of the lionesses of the pride, Mrs Big carries herself with confidence and quiet authority. Alongside her sister Whiskers, she forms an important part of the pride’s dynamic. Strong, graceful, and independent, she embodies the natural leadership often seen among lionesses.
Whiskers
Lion | DOB: 2019 | FEMale
Whiskers shares a close bond with her sister Mrs Big and the rest of the pride she grew up with. Alert and inquisitive by nature, she is often seen observing activity around the farm from a comfortable vantage point. Her attentive personality means she rarely misses a thing.
Max
Cheetah | DOB: 2022 | Male
Max is one half of Cornellskop’s cheetah brothers and brings plenty of energy wherever he goes. Athletic, curious, and always ready to explore, he perfectly showcases the speed and agility for which cheetahs are famous. Watching Max move across the landscape is a reminder of just how remarkable these animals are.
Millian (Millie)
Cheetah | DOB: 2022 | Male
Millian may share Max’s athletic ability, but his personality is a little more relaxed. Friendly and inquisitive, he enjoys spending time near visitors and is known for his constant purring. His calm nature has made him a favourite among many guests who visit the farm.
Phoenix
Caracal | DOB: 2013 | FEMale
Phoenix is one of Cornellskop’s longest-standing residents and has become a firm favourite with visitors over the years. With her striking blue eyes, distinctive appearance, and confident personality, she has a way of capturing attention wherever she goes.
Lola
Hyena | DOB: 2013 | FeMale
Lola is one of the farm’s biggest personalities. She quickly wins people over with her curious nature and unmistakable character. Deeply bonded with Luke, she rarely misses an opportunity to let him know exactly where she is and what she thinks of the situation.
Tokkie
Meerkat | DOB: 2016 | Male
Small in stature but enormous in personality, Tokkie is always busy investigating the world around him. Alert, curious, and wonderfully social, he has a habit of charming visitors with his constant chatter and fearless attitude.
