More About Lisa:

My name is Lisa Kytösaho & I am a photogapher, wildlife carer and rehabilitator. 
I am  originally from Sweden but living in South Africa, since 15 years and focus on big cats and other african wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and release.  

I have been a photographer for 27 years, starting as a passion and hobby and turned into a occupation.  


My favorite things in life have always been the same: ANIMALS 


Since a young age I realised my facintion and love for animals was unique and I was drawn to always be around them. I would rescue injured birds and rehabilitate them at home, I would go and feed lizards and frogs in the pond and be around any animal I possible could at any given moment. 

My very first pet was a mouse. Second pet was a Rabbit that I named Joker.
My parents did not like to have a lot of animals but we did have a Green Iguana named Dino, Ludde the mouse, later bunnies !! and then also our beloved family dog Rex. 
I started riding when I was 6 years old, and never stopped. I got myself my first horse and it was a dream come true for me. My first internship was at a horse stable, my second internship was at a pet store, then my third internship was with training dogs for the police & military where I later continued to work on school holidays. That was my first payed animal job. Then I worked at a animal farm with rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, horses & cows amongst other animals. 

I also have the sanctuary & rehabilitation centre open for any wildlife which is injured or orpahaned. My way, philosophy and vision is always to rehabilitate for them to go back into the wild. If this is established not an possibility, I do my best to provide the individual the correct natural and species determent enviroment to continue to live a meaninful life and thrive even within an managed setting. 

Other interest which lies close to my heart of course is photography and especially Wildlife Photography. I am at current utalizing my photography skills to sell eco friendly prints - for further conservation benifit. 

 
I spend my internship in Namibia working with African Wildlife rehabilitation. Got the first taste of this life and dream job! My first cheetah release back into the wild is what made me decide. I knew ecaxtly what I want to do with the rest of my life! 
I now own and run my very own farm, sanctuary facility and rehabiliation centre, always with focus on release back into the wild. I am sorrounded by nature and wildlife in my everyday life, working hard to develop my area. 
And that is how my story began!
