Jora and Black explore Shamwari Game Reserve for the first time.

Bulgaria’s last two circus lions, seven-year-old brothers Jora and Black, have finally been rescued!
Taken in as small cubs, Jora and Black were originally part of a circus act touring Eastern Europe and Turkey. Following the Bulgarian government's ban on the use of wild animals in circuses, the lions were unfortunately left to languish in a cramped metal "beast wagon" near Sofia, Bulgaria in the summer of 2014—until their owners agreed to re-home them with Born Free.

In July 2015, Born Free and international animal welfare organization FOUR PAWS rescued Jora and Black. Then, in September 2015, the lions were flown to the UK, then on to their new home at the Born Free Jean Byrd Education and Rescue Centre at the award-winning Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa. Jora and Black now enjoy a spacious, safe, and enriching natural accommodation.
