As a volunteer, you’ll help with daily feeding, preparing enrichment activities, and cleaning and maintaining enclosures. Occasionally, volunteers may assist with observing animal behaviour, but animal handling is strictly prohibited for safety and welfare reasons. Volunteers typically work alongside our staff for three to five hours each day.

A typical day starts early at 6am with food preparation and feeding, followed by breakfast. From 8–9am, volunteers help clean the enclosures, and from 10am–noon, they assist with gardening or maintenance tasks. After lunch, the final hour (1–2pm) is dedicated to enrichment activities to keep the animals mentally and physically stimulated. The remainder of the afternoon and evening are free for you to relax or explore the area.

Volunteers should be physically fit enough to work outdoors in Bali’s tropical climate and have up-to-date recommended vaccinations before joining the program.

Due to the nature of the work and the need for consistency in animal care, volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum stay of one week and a maximum of three weeks.
