Would you like to experience living in the African bush rehabilitating the indigenous vervet monkey? No previous experience is necessary although you must have an interest in conservation. We welcome volunteers over the age of 18. This is an ideal project for anyone who has ever dreamed of working with monkeys and really wants to get involved in sanctuary life. Be prepared to work hard and experience working under the African sun with this threatened, intelligent and indigenous primate of Africa while relaxing in the evenings discussing the day’s events or planning your next adventures - The vervet monkey.

but still able to have a quality of life to be ambassadors for their species. - An opportunity for volunteers to study the life style and environment of the vervet monkey primate species.
- A project for volunteers to become involved in the conservation and rehabilitation of this unique indigenous primate.
- Opportunities for volunteers, vet nurses, gap year students and those involved and interested in primate conservation.
