Stellenbeschreibung
This project takes place in an environmentally friendly sanctuary for any captive bred big cats, where they will be protected and prosper for the rest of their lives.
One of its main purposes is to be an educational platform where the team creates awareness about conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment play a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible.
Our community believes in the connection between both environmental and wildlife conservation, and aims to become the first “green” big cat sanctuary in South Africa, and run solely on solar energy. It has found its 40 hectare paradise with a beautiful home for the animals, the founders and the many volunteers visiting. The land is filled with lots of large trees, a natural spring and an amazing 180 degree mountain view!
Aufgaben
- Care taking of the animals including spending time around them, cleaning of enclosures, cleaning water bowls, prepping and observing feedings, daily fence testing, general maintenance
- Assistance with making and implementing enrichment toys for the animals to keep them mentally and physically stimulated
- Shadowing guided educational visits for the public
During the day you will have hours off to spend around the animals, and in the afternoon/evenings you will be free to do what you want to. We also feel it is important for you to see some of our beautiful Overberg area, so you will have 2 days off during the week where we can help you book a variety of excursion experiences, for example: whale-watching (seasonal), wine tasting, zip lining, hiking, sea-kayaking – you name it! Should you decide to book with us, we can send you an information packet where you can see all the different activities in the area.
