Why this Project Needs Our LionHearted Support
White Lions are exceptionally rare. They have been almost completely eradicated from the wild: artificially removed from their natural system and sold into zoos and circuses around the world since their first appearance in the wild in the 1930s.
The result of a rare “Genetic Marker” discovered through the collaborative scientific research led by the WLT, White Lions have been brutally speed-bred and held in captivity to be killed by the notorious ‘canned hunting industry’.
Against great odds, the WLT has initiated a world-first re-introduction program, and has successfully re-introduced three prides of high genetic integrity back into the wild that are surviving self-sufficiently.
Currently, there are less than 10 White Lions in their endemic habitat, most of which are in the protected area of some 4400 acres created by the WLT in the heart of their ancestral heritage lands. The WLT is a non-profit scientific and community conservation organization dedicated to saving this magnificent animal, with 85-90% of all donations allocated to ensuring the survival of the White Lions, and supporting the up-liftment of an indigenous community.
"A life-changing experience... a huge part of me was dormant and got awakened during my time in Timbavati, I am more whole, more me than I’ve ever been... I understood or rather EXPERIENCED how nature is in constant communication with us, the white lions showed me what I needed to see, no doubt about that."
Maha
Past Attendee
"Camp Unicorn proved to be a monastery in and for nature. Like novices in the Middle Ages, one goes through the gates and portals that define an enclosure in the ‘desert’ from which, unencumbered, one turns heart and mind towards the rare white lions, the Kings of Kings – solar animals whose forceful presence, elegance and power invite to reconfigure one’s own place in the hierarchy of life manifestations."
Andris Barblan

"Amazing trip to the white lions and their homelands! These magnificent beings are clearly avatars – an opportunity for an encounter with the divine! Take advantage of the opportunity!"
J. Sklar
" I will carry the treasures that were unearthed for me on this retreat in my heart and soul forever. I am deeply grateful to ALL for this opportunity."

A Message from Andrew Harvey
Dear Friends,
I would like to invite you to join Linda Tucker and me in Timbavati, South Africa for our School of Sacred Warriorship, which will take place in 2026.
Speaking for myself, after five visits to this miraculous place, I have been graced with a whole new level of understanding about the sacredness of these amazing creatures, the interconnection of all worlds and the depths of the African Shamanic Tradition.
Linda Tucker's teachings are quite amazing, as she entrusts us with some extremely powerful, secret practices from the lineage of lion shamanism that she belongs to, as a pupil of the great South African shamans, Maria Khosa and Credo Mutwa.
Linda and I are able to work effortlessly together, in order to inspire the initiates to rise to a completely new level of awareness. I wish I had the words to describe the full radiance of what unfolds in Timbavati, but I would have to be Shakespeare and Rumi combined to do so. What I can say is that in all my 60+ years of experience, there is no other place on earth where you can experience the majestic sacredness of creation more purely and more intensely.
The white lions are simply the most beautiful creatures on earth, and are also, as Linda Tucker makes clear in her book, The Mystery of the White Lions, "carriers and transmitters of a revelation crucial to the survival of humanity and nature."
Given the enormous urgency of the world crisis, I feel it is essential that as many people as possible receive the grace that pours from sacred Africa and its animal avatars.
We only take a very small group, so that the experience can be as intimate and protected as possible.
Coming into deep contact with the white lions and supporting Linda Tucker's heroic enterprise is, I believe, the perfect way to begin your journey into a much richer relationship with nature and into becoming an advocate and Sacred Activist on her behalf and with her blessing.
We would love for you to join us.
Love always,
Andrew
