Caring for Rescued Lions at a Sanctuary
Højdepunkter
- Care for lions rescued from the canned lion industry knowing that your assistance gives them a better chance of life at this ethical sanctuary. Please be aware, NO breeding takes place
- Assisting with game reserve duties which could include waterhole checks, boundary fence patrols, wildlife management and anti poaching duties...a great time to view other wildlife species
- There are three prides of lions in separate enclosures but volunteers also need to assist maintaining and building new enclosures so that more lions can be saved in the future.
- Experience the work of wildlife conservationists in the field...you may even be lucky enough to go across the border into Botswana where elephants and other species roam wild
- You will also have the opportunity to assist in the local community if you choose helping at one of the smaller schools. Upliftment for those in the area is of great importance too
