“Sitarra” was the matriarch of our White Tiger family, insuring our effort to return the White Tiger to the planet.  We feel it is not just the right of all of us to protect Wildlife, it is our obligation.

It is our “Hallelujah” to be one day known as the men who brought the White Tiger and White Lion back from extinction.  In all reality we could all be called “ventriloquists” as we stand behind, unwavering, with the strength of the elephant, the voice of the Tiger and the roar of the Lion in the name of conservation and preservation.”

Dear Friends and Fans,

Everything you put into the New Year is up to you.  You design every day to your liking – with a big smile – and be happy that you have an extra day to live.

Live with great ambition, but also with laughter and especially health and happiness.

We treasure the loyalty you have shown to us for all of these many years.  The New Year will provide Magic for you.  Remember you can put your own magic in your life – help it along.  Do not be afraid to try something new  - if you do, you will grow.

Do not be discouraged; if you fall down you will pick yourself up and stand again.

As you can see from us, where there is a will, there is a way to overcome all obstacles.

Love & Happiness from the Siegfried & Roy Family

And a big “ROARRRR” from the Animals!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY EVERYTHING!

Christmas is a time to be together with your Family and Friends.  We all have people that we haven’t spoken to for years; be strong enough to take the first step and give them a big hug!  A hug a day will keep the Doctor away and bring love and light into your life.

Always remember: the Man Upstairs loves us all equally, no matter our race, if we are rich or poor, young or old – we are all alike in his eyes and is guiding our way no matter what.

THESE ARE DARK TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY OF SOUTH AFRICA AND THE WORLD AS NELSON MANDELA’S LIGHT HAS BEEN EXTINGUISHED.

 WE ARE SO LUCKY THAT HE LEFT US THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO CONTINUE HIS LEGACY.  HE WAS WISER THAN ANY SHAMMAN WE EVER MET.  HE WAS IMPORTANT AND STRAIGHT FORWARD, JUST LIKE OUR MIGHTY LIONS, AND AS STRONG AS AN ELEPHANT.  HE WAS A HUMANITARIAN LEADER WHO TRULY DESERVED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

WE SALUTE YOU, OUR GENERAL – BE ASSURED YOUR TEACHING WILL BE HELD SACRED AND CONTINUED BY US.  THE WAR IS OVER.  YOU SUCCEEDED FOR ALL OF US. NELSON MANDELA WAS LARGER THAN LIFE, A LEGENDARY LEADER WHOSE HONORABLE ACTIONS IN HIS QUEST FOR FREEDOM AND EQUALITY ESCALATED HIM TO A LEVEL THAT NO OTHER MAN ACHIEVED.  HIS INSPIRATION AND VISION HAVE LEFT BEHIND A HERITAGE THAT IS ETERNAL.

WE SALUTE THIS PASSIONATE VISIONARY WHO WAS A SIMPLE MAN THAT BECAME AN EXTRAORDINARY ICON. 

AUF WIEDERSEHEN AND FAREWELL WITH A BIG “ROARRRRRR” AND RESPECT TO THE LARGEST OF THE “BIG FIVE” FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.  WE ALL HAIL THE GREAT

NELSON MANDELA.   

                                                      WITH MAGICAL LOVE,

Dear Friends and Fans,

This is the time to “reach over the fence” and give a good handshake to your neighbors, wish them the best for the coming year and set the stage for a holiday season of celebrations full of gratitude. We offer you our suggestion with love and respect and we will do the same here! If we could get everyone to join us, the world would be a better place. There’s an old saying, “What can I do, I am only one person?” but one man can make a difference.

Humbly, look at Siegfried and I – we preserved two magnificent creatures, first the White Tiger and now the White Lion… and this Thanksgiving, we have decided to pardon the Turkey, as you can see in the photo. They have all joined us so we may together celebrate at Little Bavaria!

Wishing you all the best of the Season,

Magically,

Siegfried & Roy

Please join us today every day in celebrating our military heroes and being grateful for the peace they make possible for all of us. If you know a service person or see one in public, please let them know you appreciate their service and are thankful for their sacrifice. If we all can devote a few moments of our time each day to promote peace among men, we hope to truly see the End of All Wars in or lifetime. Remember, Nothing Is Impossible.

In response to their many German fans, the official Siegfried & Roy website is now available in a German edition. “We want all of our friends and fans back home to be able to know about all of our new activities and projects,” says Siegfried. “It’s important to stay in touch with our roots, and we want all of you to stay close to us as well. As always, we welcome you to walk in our magical world,” says Roy. Look for special posts to their German fans and be sure to sign up on the site for the Siegfried & Roy e-mail list to get all of their latest announcements first.

On the 10th anniversary of the closing of the Mirage show, Siegfried & Roy took Europe by storm with the two hour documentary, “The Siegfried & Roy Story,” produced by RTL / VOX in Germany and featuring Thomas Gottchalk. Unprecedented in scope, this special featured never before seen footage and interviews and attracted over 7 million viewers.

More than $130,000 was raised at the event that served as the kick-off for the SARMOTI Foundation, Siegfried & Roy’s philanthropic effort on behalf of animal conservation, preservation and education. The first grant from the foundation will be awarded to TUSK USA, which works to preserve lions and other endangered animals in Africa.

“In Africa, where Tusk’s work is focused, we have witnessed lion populations plummet – from both habitat loss as well as targeted poaching for body parts that are much in demand in the Far East, said Meredith Ogilvie-Thompson, Executive Director of TUSK USA. “The most recent estimates put lion numbers at less than 20,000 left in the wild in Africa.”

Siegfried & Roy applauded the work of TUSK and said that this is just the beginning of the far-reaching impact they hope to achieve with the SARMOTI Foundation. “The SARMOTI Foundation is the vessel of our legacy: we will continue to channel our lifelong philanthropic efforts into supporting the causes and people that are affecting the lives of animals and children globally,” said Siegfried & Roy. ”TUSK’s work to preserve the big cats of Africa is a mission we wholeheartedly support.”
