Animal volunteering 'holiday'

[lemmingjames]

Hello,
I'm tempted to do a turtle/sea life based one but just wondering if anyone had undertaken/done one of those animal volunteering holidays?

If so, how did you find it?

Thanks

I spent about 6 weeks working in the Vervet Monkey Sanctuary in South Africa many years ago. Helping to care for and rehab orphaned monkeys who basically treat you as the adults/group leaders.

It was a lovely place to be, very near Kruger park for trips in, and a good cause supported by a lot of nice people.

Looks like it's progressed and developed a lot since then, I went through a 3rd party firm and paid a fortune but you can apply directly now. South Africa is amazing if you avoid the stabby areas.
