As a volunteer, your main role is to help with food preparation and feeding, providing lots of interaction with the animals. You could also help create enrichment programs to rehabilitate the animals. No two days will ever be the same – and that is what makes this program so fun and fulfilling! You will live in the heart of the sanctuary with the other volunteers. You will even get to hear the sound of the wild as you fall asleep. You will be f...

I cannot recommend it enough, and will definitely be booking another trip.
January 14, 2025by: Isabelle BroomProgram: Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteering in ThailandI booked a wildlife volunteering trip in Thailand with Oyster Worldwide, and knew immediately that I was in capable hands. My coordinator was so quick to respond to emails and queries, happy to move my dates when life got in the way and delayed my initial booking, and provided me with all the info I needed before I set off. My three weeks in Thailand were an absolute dream. I spent the first two with primates, bears, birds and all manner of other beautiful animals, and then did the third week with elephants, and both experiences were magical. The work was hard – you're up with the dawn preparing food, harvesting banana trees, scrubbing bear pools and monkey enclosure – but it was the most rewarding I've ever done. I met so many brilliant people, staff and other volunteers, and made friends and memories for life. I cannot recommend it enough, and will definitely be booking another trip.
