Volunteer with baboons in South Africa

Pays d’action: Afrique du Sud, Afrique
Type d’activité: Missions avec animaux et vétérinaires, Ecovolontariat
Help rescued baboons in a leading rehabilitation centre. Be a vital part of the rehabilitation process by feeding and caring for young primates and creating enrichments for those in larger areas who are one step away from rehabilitation.



Description du projet et du rôle des volontaires

The project

Tragically, many of these baboons have lost their parents in traffic accidents and through sour meetings with humans. Some have been shot and some run over in cars. This rehabilitation centre home to many primates in various stages of rehabilitation.

What will I be doing?
Volunteers get involved with a wide range of tasks at the centre

  • Bottle feeding baby baboons if any have been bought in
  • Preparing food - lots of fruit, veg!
  • Cleaning enclosures
  • Making enrichments
  • Accommodation and food

    The setting is beautiful area just within the Kruger National Park. Volunteers live in purpose built houses in the heart of the centre. Delicious vegetarian meals are enjoyed together, picnics and site-seeing in the park are common, and there is a real community/family vibe with lots of long-stay volunteers who will help guide you.

    Free time
    The work at the centre can be quite full on, especially during baby monkey season (November - February). As the centre is run 100% with volunteers, there are no set days off as the work always needs to be done. That being said, generally speaking there is time in the afternoon to relax and babysit the monkeys as they run, jump, swim and play together.

    Additionally, trips are run from the centre, with many volunteers enjoying some time at Kruger National Park, walking through some of the gorges nearby and going out for weekly dinners. In a 2 week stay, you should be able to enjoy one trip.

    Project highlights

    • Becoming a surrogate parent to baby monkeys - a once in a lifetime experience
    • Living in the African bush with its amazing wildlife and beautiful starry nights
    • Making a genuine contribution to the survival of a species
