Life-changing experience at African Dawn

Imagine waking up every morning to an incredible sunrise, hearing marmoset monkeys chattering to each other, listening to every kind of bird imaginable singing and whistling, and leaving your cabin to glimpse a giraffe walking by in the distance. As you begin "work" you visit with the cheetahs, take in a meeting with the meerkats, and discuss development opportunities with the African greys. After a well deserved breakfast you set to work on a project and actually see your hard work come to fruition as a new enclosure is built, or an injured animal is nursed back to health. After your "working" day you relax with colleagues (who you actually like!) and have dinner, reflect on the day, watch the sun go down and listen to the sounds of Africa by night.
Well that is pretty much a day at African Dawn.
Of course there is a chance the boss (Percy, the owner) may throw you in the pool, or one of the birds in the aviary might decide to relieve himself down your shirt. But that is all in a days work!
I am sure there were moments during my 3 months at African Dawn where I was tired, not in the mood to be at work at 7am, or just fed up of living and working with the same people everyday, but those moments were fleeting and don't compare to the many, many positives that I experienced.
If you love animals this is the place for you, and what an experience you will have. If you want an experience unlike other then there is the place for you. At African Dawn you become part of a family. African Dawn takes a little bit from every volunteer, but every volunteer takes a lot from African Dawn, and even more from Africa.
