Kalliope Blum adopted Esmeralda, her 4 year old daughter begs to go to the donkey sanctuary every day. We are open every day 9-4 and you are always welcome!


Bart Koedijk and his friends love the donkeys very much. They wanted to adopt the sad looking donkey at the entrance. Of course this donkey didn't want to be in the picture with them, so we have 2 pictures, one of Mocca's face and one of the friends. Maybe next time?

Margaret Burke adopted Gypsy, she says: "Thanks for caring for the donkeys". It is our pleasure, we love these animals. They are loyal, sweet, docile, curious, thoughtful, playful and do not underestimate how smart they are!

Paula Grubenskas loves our donkeys especially Brad Pitt. So she adopted him and also became a Friend of the Donkeys. That means Paula left the sanctuary with 2 T-shirts. One for the adoption of a donkey and one for becoming a Friend of the Donkeys.

Kaitlin Colella loves Ban Ban and that is why she adopted him. We love Ban Ban too. He is our very first donkey. Children poored boiling water over him when he was just a little baby. He is with us ever since (1994). He is the reason why we started the sanctuary at all.

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.
