The direct aim of this project is care and conservation of wildlife. The project received the CARE CENTRE award in 2002. Currently the Foundation runs the biggest rehabilitation centre for monkeys in South Africa.
As well as caring for the endangered monkeys the centre also runs outreach programmes and gives talks at schools, clubs, organizations, and conservancies which all volunteers may have the opportunity to be involved in. Additionally the programme operates a national Vervet monkey watch. This is a great opportunity for primate lovers to become involved at the heart of wildlife conservation.
The owner of this company did a gap year trip in the early 90s which involved building a bandstand for a small village in Patagonia. While he was there, he realised the project was only helpful in developing the Western traveller as the village didn’t want a bandstand and only argued about who owned it. And so he set up a volunteer organisation which is useful to communities and provides them with resources and help with funding. Today, his projects offer travellers an opportunity to fully integrate into communities and to make a real long-term difference to the local people’s lifestyles.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
