A truly beautiful place

African Dawn is a home from home and will always have a special place in my heart. You are accepted into the family immediately and made to feel at home.

The day starts with feeding the animals and it can be anything from the aviary which has over 100 different species, or the squirrel monkey, buck, wallabies. After everything has been feed and all the plates cleaned away we have breakfast.

After breakfast we start with jobs which can be cleaning enclosures, adding environmental enrichments, walking the game fences, spending time with the hand-reared animals and even helping to build enclosures.

After lunch the whole park is fed again but you will be feeding a different section of the park than you had in the morning. Then there are a few afternoon jobs to be done but mainly its time to relax, shower and get ready for dinner.

You get two days off a week and you can do a heap of activities including bungee jumping, sky diving, horseback riding, safaris, walking with elephants and hanging out in Jefferys bay.

Overall I had the most amazing time, met some amazing people and had the best experiences of my life.
