My favorite activities during my stay with Loops Abroad were darting, reptile medicine, volunteer work, helping give tours for children, working with other staff and learning! I'm sad, I don't want to go home

I loved going on morning rounds and getting to meet with the keepers. I also loved observing the vets and practicing blood draws. Overall, a great program and a great experience! I loved being a part of the zoo and wildlife communities.

Amazing staff and a great adventure

I loved working with all the animals at the Lory Park Zoo every morning. The safari was so fun! Veterinary days were very fun and I loved the dart lab. Dr Taylor, Tasch, Tiff - all the staff were amazing. I love all of them, they taught us so much.
