Volunteering in Moholoholo will be my most satisfying experience of my entire life!

Volunteering in Moholoholo will be my most satisfying experience of my entire life ! As I didn't expected to be as close as the animals ! I got attached to a serval 'Aurora' which my groupe was responsible to take care of ! Feeding babies at the clinic and assisting vet operations such as post mortem were also a big step for me as I usually avoid watching those but it is so interesting and we learn a lot from the animal nurses and the vet !

Being able to help him like the amazing vets

Someone had brought a young monkey that was in need of assistance. The Lady couldn’t make it up the hill so she just handed me the animal wrapped in a towel. I was worried i would be in trouble for handling the primate but I couldn’t help but smile down at his little helpless face. I have no official qualifications when it comes to animals but in that moment I pictured myself being able helping him like the amazing vets he was about to see. That was a very fulfilling feeling.

My most memorable experience with the project "South Africa - Wildlife Rehabilitation Center" was honestly everything. The fact that you can hands on interact with the African wildlife is incredibly special!
