At the big cat breeding centre, you will help to look after lion, tiger and other big cat cubs in the heart of the beautiful wilderness of South Africa! Get involved with feeding and playing with the cubs and learn all about the life of big cats!Call: 0845 344 7592
You’ll be based at a breeding park for lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards and other carnivores. The programme was started by a passionate conservationist determined to save big cats and spread the word about their fight to survive. You’ll be a big part of helping to give the cubs the attention they need and ensuring the future survival of many endangered species. There may not always be cubs at the centre, if you arrive at a time where there are no cubs, the older lions and tigers will still need your help too.
The project’s needs are ever-changing so your working hours will be flexible. Working closely with these fascinating animals alongside lion experts who have years of experience in the field, you’ll learn all there is to know about lion conservation and get involved in a range of activities including:
• Inspecting the lions, tigers and jaguar enclosures
• Feeding the lions - please be aware that you will be handling meat!
• Cleaning the lion, tiger and jaguar enclosures
• Caring for cubs; hand feeding twice a day (and working some night shifts), playing and generally giving attention
• Taking visitors on guided tours
• General farm maintenance and improvements
• Learning about conservation and the breeding programme
