Norman Conde used to come with his wife. In her loving memory he came to visit us again AND adopted our little Diva. At the moment a month old.


Heather & Eric Huyser come well prepared to the sanctuary. Lots of carrots and apples.For many years Heather says she wanted to adopt a donkey. Fudge wanted to be in the picture with them....

Tim Steens and his parents (friends of Anton and Erna Hopmans) came to visit the donkeys because they said to do so. At first Tim didn't want to feed the donkeys, after a while he couldn't stop feeding them and totally fell for the charms of this little fellow: Black Diamond. Tim likes the way he moves his tongue after eating a snack... Of course Black Diamond is too shy to get into the picture.

Kathleen loves animals. "I want them to be taken care of. I have come to Aruba more often, this is our 1st trip to the donkeys however". We hope you will come back to us Kathleen. You are welcome! And they came back and renewed the adoption for Aramis...
Aramis didn't want to have his picture taken. So he is in the distance hihihi



Wendy & Michael Kuss read about Kaweta in the newspaper and went through a lot to adopt him. They had to cross the whole Island for it. It was also hard to make a picture with him. Kaweta is very shy.... Thank you for the renewal of the adoption!

Take Route 4a from the hotels and follow this road for 14 km, pass all the circles/roundabouts until you see a sign for the French Men’s Pass. Make a left turn onto the French Men’s Pass, then 1st left, 2nd right. On that dirt road you will find the Donkey Sanctuary after about 200 meters.
If you have a GPS device, navigate to these coordinates:  N 12°48.974’  W 069°96.642’  This will bring you to the entrance of the Donkey Sanctuary.
