Ever wanted to spend time with one of the most iconic and majestic creatures on the planet?
We've teamed up with The Lion Park in South Africa to offer an exclusive volunteer opportunity. The Park is famed as a pioneer in the rearing of white lions, cats that are now completely extinct in the wild, and you could soon get to see them every day! The Lion Park is a popular visitor destination and the team specialize in the care of Africa's large predators; the Lion (including the rare white lion), Leopard, Cheetah, Spotted Hyena, Brown Hyena and African Wild dog. It is also home to many of the other animals that make South Africa one of the wildlife jewels of the world. Volunteering in South Africa on this project means you can run wild with lions, giraffes and cheetah cubs, so get involved with the team and help these amazing animals.
