Volunteer as a zoo keeper
Our host, Tat, is one of the most loving and dedicated people we have met. Her honest love for the animals in her care(from big cats to monkey's, puppies to rabbits) was evident from the moment we met our first animal-a chicken named Charlie living in the volunteer house. She made us feel welcomed, informed and involved, like old friends. She made sure we were able to spend ample time building toys and playing with the juvenile Leopards(our personal favorite experience of the day) and gave us a sampling of the many chores and tasks that are necessary to keep the animals healthy and happy.
Some tasks from the day included: Cleaning monkey cages, cleaning enclosures, feeding animals, raw meat prep for the big cats(Leopards, Lions, Tigers)vitamins for the animals, meds for the animals receiving treatment, brushing a Binturong, and building enrichment toys. Every member of the staff we met, truly wants to see the park grow into a better environment for the animals. The staff all shared the same beautiful dedication for each animal. They all knew each individual animal's personality, preferences and needs, and shared in the same excitement for any progress the animals in recovery were making. If you want to get the real experience of volunteering at the park and being able to be up close with animals and spend your time with a group of individuals who have given their lives to see animals be treated with respect, I would not hesitate to recommend spending a day (or longer!) getting your hands dirty at the Safari Park.
