A Lions Wild Life - Dean Schneider

WE MADE IT! After 4 Years of hard work, blood, sweat & tears we finally got the Live Wild Area (600’000sqm of pure african wilderness) approved by the government of South Africa. The first two lions Dexter & Snow have been released in it and it was a huge success. Seeing them thriving and living a life wilder than anyone could have ever imagined for a captive bred lion is literally the biggest Milestone in the history of the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis. The job is not done though. There is 4 more Lions to be moved to the Live Wild area Leo, Nayla, Kiara & Khaleesi are eagerly waiting for their big Day. All this needs a lot of planning & resources which is the reason why the second movement is most probably going to happen later this year or in the beginning of 2024. I hope You guys enjoy the content and it allows you to experience the most important moments and steps of my life together with Me and the entire Hakuna Mipaka Team. We appreciate Your support a lot and ever donation, like, comment & share helps us to spread the message even further inspire more people around the globe and most importantly help the animals.
Much Love

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.

I sure hope Dexter and Snow enjoy it to the fullest even though it's going to be different from now on. One day I want to become like you Dean! Being a giver, and not a taker.

Sehr schön zu sehen, allerdings hätte ich EXTREM Angst, dass Ihnen dort etwas zustößt! Wilderer oder andere böse Menschen finden leider immer Zugang zu solchen Orten... Passt bitte auf sie gut auf und verschärft nochmal die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen😢 Hoffentlich haben sie ein wunderschönes Leben dort❤ Gott segne euch🙏🏻❤

Dean, you and you’re crew did an excellent job. I love your emotion at the end. You truly love and care deep for the lions. I can image you will miss Dexter the king very much. It brings me a tear in my eye. Can’t image how you may feel. You are a great person Dean. Thank you very much for your content. I learned a lot about lions. You have a special mission. Stay safe ❤❤

This is so emotional , and for the lions and you all this huge wild is like home coming for them honestly. It made me so emotional, but don't worry they were happy tears, about how loving, incredible human being that you are Dean, I won' t fail to pray that you get all the aid that you need for all these animals .Thank you for showing them that Humans can love unconditionally too. Your parents must be proud of you, because I ' m in awe ,and I ' m sure the world is too. All I can say for now is Thank you so much for documenting these awesome memories.For most of us this is how close we can get to a pride of lions.God bless you richly brother for all that you do.

“Freedom is not a place it’s a feeling” this has a really deep meaning to it and is very inspiring. Wishing you the best and congratulation !

Love this! Nice to see you on KZbin again!!! I actually cried when you did. ❤❤

[@valeriajakab8112]

It's amazing what you all are doing for these animals! Thank you very much for sharing this, it's heartwarming🤗❤️

[@marcellev4689]

much love to Dean and his entire Team, amazing work guys ❤

[@LeilahWoods123]

its so beautiful to not only see such a huge accomplishment come to fruition, but also you can genuinely see the love that Dean has for the lions and all of the Hakuna Mipaka animals. Watching him tear up after the brotherhood they experienced during their first walk in the Live Wild Area, was truly touching -- as well as all of the care that was put into vaccinating and sedating them to properly travel these lions. Much love and can't wait for the biopic!!!

[@Futgaming590]

what you do for these animals is so crazy. in this video my whole dream is captured

[@gastonblogsvarios1587]

Congratulations Dean!...For more people like you in this world. You inspire many people about the love and care of these majestic animals. And it shows the love you have for them.

[@sarajohnson6550]

You have truly helped changed my perception of animals. I have always respected and loved animals but now I understand them more and I am in awe of them thanks to you Dean. I’m so excited you posted and even more excited about the Live Wild Reserve! I can’t wait for the documentary! Thank you Dean and team for everything you do.

Hi Sara I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this compliment. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹

[@EclipseCoD]

Thank you so much for giving these amazing cats the freedom and happiness they deserve. I hope more people can step up and help provide this for more animals in the near future!

[@anglohero6295]

I find this journey heartbreaking beautiful and all I can add is God Bless You all, Keep safe and healthy and a huge thank you ,What an incredible life! You are an exceptional human being!

Dean Schneider is real life hero. I'm glad his dream and the Lions dreams came true. It must've been hard for him basically raising them since cubs. To now seeing his "children" live their own free life. I hope all goes well and continues to do so. Keep up the great work.

[@myinfinitestate1586]

"Freedom is not a place it's a feeling" ~ You're absolutely spot on, Dean. I'm gobsmacked at the sheer beauty mate. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

[@Four9sFineJewelry]

YES DEAN!!!!! Congratulations to you and the pride!!! I am so happy and proud to see how far they’ve come and how happy they really are. You sir, should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished.

Congratulations! I remember when you first started the new camp. I’m happy that you were able to get part of it done. I love the bond you have with the lions. It’s so amazing.

[@katieburris3612]

Dean, I cannot even begin to tell you how emotional I get watching your videos as I have been an avid lover of the African animals. All my life in my entire home is tropical safari here in Florida. Thank you so much for what you are doing for those precious, precious, sweet babies, your KZbin channel has so many followers that I hope you are getting lots of money from U2 to pay for your work caring for these animals every day. Thank you 1 million times over.

Hi Katie good afternoon I’m sad about what you did to me, why did you block me

[@sheilar4309]

​@@frankuvlkan I know why she 🚫 you.. It's because you're a con man, seeking women to become "friendly" with online so they'll send you money. DUH!
