Short term Volunteer Projects in South Africa

If you are passionate about monkeys and want to make a difference to their lives, then volunteering at International Primate Rescue is for you.

Whether you are looking for work experience, a student on a gap year, want a break from your office job, are retired, or you just want to get away from it all for a while. Join us and experience a unique once in a lifetime opportunity!

Our volunteer program will give you a fascinating, hands on experience whilst you learn about primate behaviour and care of all the different species of primates at the sanctuary. We currently house Capuchins, Macaques, Patas monkeys, Squirrel monkeys, Mona monkeys, Tamarins, Marmosets and Grey Mouse lemurs.

During your time with us you will get to know our staff and work side by side with them. More importantly, you will get to know our monkeys and all their different personalities. It is our hope that you will make lifelong friends with our staff as well as your fellow volunteers.
