South Africa Monkey Rehabilitation
from £899 GBP
South Africa Monkey Rehabilitation
Duration: from 2 Weeks to 12 Weeks
Countries: South Africa
You’ll be helping out with this amazing project that aims to give shelter and care to Vervet monkeys, which have been injured, orphaned or abused. You’ll assist with rehabilitating and caring for the monkeys in a reserve near Kruger National Park.
You will be volunteering at a reserve based in Tzaneen, 420km north of Johannesburg, near the world famous Kruger National Park; which means you’ll have plenty to do in your spare time! If you are at the programme between November and February, then you’ll be up and about at 6am caring for the little ones and may also occasionally be asked to care for a baby monkey over night!
Outside of this season you will normally start at around 8am and finish at 5pm. You’ll be helping out with a range of tasks including; collecting and preparation of meals for the monkeys, caring for the orphans, sickbay duty, observation and recording of data, construction and maintenance at the centre, taking photos and writing articles for newsletters, working with the ex-pet monkeys and rehabilitating them.
The monkeys need care 7 days a week so you’ll be needed every day at the sanctuary. Don’t worry, you will get an afternoon off over the weekend, which you can use to explore, relax or help with more volunteer work if you choose!
