Wildlife Volunteering in Nairobi, Kenya

Summary
Volunteer at an animal rescue facility near Nairobi.

Program Description
Through this unique program, volunteers work at an animal "orphanage" near Nairobi which rehabilitates and releases wild animals that have been injured or abandoned. The facility handles animals such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, monkeys, elephants, hippos, rhinos, zebras, impalas, and ostrich and any other animal found in Kenya's national parks and game reserves.

Volunteers assist with feedings, handling the animals, cleaning cages, assisting staff with providing medical care to the animals. There are also regulat opportunities to accompany veterinary teams to remote locations.

Volunteers do not need any veterinary knowledge or special skills, just a deep caring for animal welfare. However, since the spots in this program are limited, we give preference to veterinary students and professionals.
