Conservation Volunteering in Johannesburg, South Africa

I spent a week at the Lion and Cheetah sanctuary and had the most amazing time. The whole sanctuary is beautiful and the animals are treated very well. I got involved in preparing the animals meals, helping clean and maintain the animal enclosures, spent as much time as I could playing with the Mongooses Eenie, Meenie, Money and Mo and definitely made a bit of time to relax at the pool. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience South Africa on a different level. Watching Samson "The Gentle Giant" being fed in the mornings was truly the highlight of my stay. The accommodation we stayed in was really luxurious and I couldn't have asked for more I will never forget this experience and cant wait to go back.

Working with wildlife was one of the things on my bucket list. I am so grateful I got to experience working with lions, cheetahs, hyenas, serval, genets and a lot of other wildlife, it was truly life changing! I highly recommend this sanctuary to anyone wanting to work with wildlife who also only want to volunteer at an ethical sanctuary.
