SOUTH AFRICA:
Care for Animals
in a Wildlife Sanctuary near Port Elizabeth
Hands-on work with injured or abandoned animals of all types. You'll assist in a
very caring Sanctuary set in a small private game reserve in the Eastern Cape. You'll
assist in hand-rearing, feeding and generally looking after many different animal
species, including over 250 different species of birds.
The sanctuary receives many abandoned, abused, injured or orphaned animals that
all need love and attention to prepare them for life back in the wild, if possible,
or a safe life in the Sanctuary. Many animals breed there, so there are often young
animals to care for that need regular feeding and attention. This is a very hands-on
experience and one that leaves you immensely satisfied.

USA | AMERICA:
Rehabilitate Abused Wild Mustang Horses
in Florida
This is a project with a huge heart. You'll assist in a Centre that rescues mustangs
that would have been put to death. The horses (who are often close to death when
they reach the Centre), are nursed back to health and then trained with positive
reinforcement and love to become adoptable.
These traumatised horses must spend time with lots of different people, to learn
that not all people are bad! This is critical in order for them to be adopted into
homes where they'll be well looked after for the rest of their lives.

ZIMBABWE:
Walk with Lions: Lion
Breeding, Research, Rehabilitation and Release in GWERU
Extremely close encounters with Lions on this Lion Breeding Project. Some of the
work on this project is quite unusual, to say the least. (Where else would you take
lions for a walk every day to exercise them and to familiarise them with a game
reserve environment!). On the walks, the lions are 'free roaming' - no leashes -
they romp, they play and they stalk, and you may frequently be lucky enough to have
a large cub sitting on your lap sucking your thumb.
Your work will assist in helping this project to continue and, over the long term,
will also hopefully contribute to preventing the decrease in the lion population
in Africa.
