About Program
Become part of a lifesaving journey for young baboons in South Africa. Rescue, nurture and rehabilitate injured and orphaned primate babies, helping these young to become strong and part of a family, ready for release to the wild.
Each day you will be helping with the food preparation, feeding, watering and cleaning of enclosures for baboons at different stages of rehabilitation.
You will be living at the rehabilitation centre on the fringes of the great Kruger National Park, alongside the 400 baboons (and other volunteers!).
Program Highlights
- Work hard to prepare food and clean the monkey enclosures, all with the reward that one day these primates will be released back to the wild.
- Make a genuine contribution in monkey conservation, helping to release primates back to the wild after injury.
- Explore the area of South Africa close to the Kruger National Park - you might even get to see the Big 5!
