As long as you are at least 18 years old you are welcome. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for work experience, a student on a gap year, want a break from your office job, are retired, or you just want to get away from it all for a while. Join us and experience a unique once in a lifetime opportunity!
Our volunteer program will give you a fascinating wildlife experience whilst you learn about primate behaviour and animal care. You will get hands on experience with all the different species of primates at the sanctuary. We currently have Capuchins, Macaques, Squirrel monkeys, Mona monkeys, Tamarins, Marmosets and Grey Mouse lemurs. But as cute as they are you also need to be prepared to get down and dirty, as along with the pleasure of interacting with our animals, their enclosures also need cleaning and maintaining!
During your time with us you will get to know our staff and work side by side with them. More importantly, you will get to know our monkeys and all their different personalities. It is our hope that when you leave us you have made lifelong friends with our staff as well as your fellow volunteers, and that you walk away with the fantastic memories of an unforgettable experience!!!
You will be responsible for all aspects of primate care as outlined below:
• Food preparation and feeding
• Distributing supplements, primate pellets and conducting health checks on the primates
• Cleaning and maintaining the enclosures
• Enrichment
• Observations and monitoring
• Recording behaviours and concerns in the daily observation book
Bosveld tours can organise group trips to places such as Kruger National Park, Horseback Safaris, lion and Rhino park, Wonder Caves, Apartheid museum and many more. There is a local supermarket and pizza take away.
If you have asked us to arrange an airport pick up, our driver will meet you at Johannesburg airport. The trip to the sanctuary takes about 45 min to an hour. If you arrive during the day, our driver will take you food shopping on the way.
Dorm rooms are very basic and can accommodate a maximum of 14 people in one dorm.
Beds are bunk beds and we will provide sheets, pillow and duvet.
There are 2 indoor toilets and 1 shower, with a further (enclosed) shower and toilet on the grounds outside, we also provide towels for your use.
We have a volunteer kitchen for your use and groups tend to go on shopping trips every week or so to buy food.
Volunteers can join our project at anytime throughout the year
