I have waited three long years to be able to say these few words to you all – I am now back at the Kingdom of Zion!

It has been a long and difficult journey but I made a promise to the big cats of Zion that I would always take care of them and I have never lost sight of that.

It was not my choice to be separated from them and since then not a day has gone by when I did not miss them or think about them, and all my efforts have always been focussed on getting back to them.

I will never forget those people who have helped me get back to where I belong. I could not have achieved this without my fantastic supporters from every corner of the world, and I thank them for their wonderful loyalty and amazing generosity.

Let’s also take a moment to remember those that we have lost along the way, Abu, Shia and Sita and  of course, Dalu.

There is much work to be done and no doubt, many challenges ahead but we can now all look forward to a new beginning for Kingdom of Zion starting with putting the past behind us and so moving to a better future.
