Experiences
Conservation experiences in extraordinary places.
One destination for now. We add a place only when we have worked on it ourselves and know the animals come first.
Come and work with us in 2027
You, us, and a handful of other people who would rather spend a fortnight on a working reserve than on a beach. One project for now — the one we volunteer on ourselves.
Small numbers. Real days. Animals first.

Hands in the daily work
Ages 16–70 · from €800 per week
Feeding and cleaning duties through the morning, meat prep after lunch, then the afternoon round — cheetahs, lions, servals, caracals and the meerkats. A handful of volunteers at a time, working alongside the four people who run the place. Nothing is staged for you, which is the reason to go.
Picture yourself here
Weighing and cutting the afternoon portions
Feeding cheetahs with the animal team
Building enrichment that gets destroyed by lunch
Walking the fence line before the heat arrives
Meerkats underfoot from seven in the morning
A cheetah walk or a game drive, when the day allows
Included: accommodation on the project, three meals a day, wifi and laundry. Flights, transfers, insurance and visas are not.

Veterinary Internship
Beyond the classroom
Pre-vet to qualified · rate on enquiry
You are on the project as part of the animal team, seeing how health decisions get made where the animals actually live: what gets watched, what gets escalated, what waits. Scope is agreed in advance with the project rather than promised on a website.
Picture yourself here
Observing veterinary procedures as they happen
Daily health checks with the animal team
Monitoring appetite, behaviour and wounds
Condition scoring across the whole collection
Writing up what you saw, and asking why
