Your experience

This monkey sanctuary needs your help urgently-too many monkeys and not enough hands! This sanctuary aims to help injured and orphaned monkeys (and a few dogs) , nurse them back to health and where possible to reintroduce them back into the wild.

Volunteers will be involved in many tasks from preparing food, checking animals and devising and helping with stimulation activities for monkeys who are unable to be released back into the wild.
