    Über das Programm

    Our sanctuary provides a great opportunity for internships, dissertations, work experience, or for those simply interested in studying primate behaviour. With over sixty primates spanning seven different species, including the super smart Capuchins, highly strung Marmosets, and gentle Squirrel Monkeys and Owl Monkeys, you’ll have the chance to learn diverse social structures and behaviour patterns.

    This immersive three-month program offers a comprehensive curriculum covering essential topics such as primate handling, health protocols, and behavioural challenges in captivity. Starting back at brain development we will uncover the physical and psychological reasons that hand-reared and captive primates present with behavioural issues, what these issues are and how they can be improved. With a focus on hands-on learning, participants will have the opportunity to observe and assist in daily care tasks, gaining practical skills crucial for a career in primate welfare. 

    Limited to 10 participants per intake, this intimate setting ensures personalized attention and a supportive learning environment. This internship equips individuals with the knowledge and experience needed to make a meaningful impact on the lives of these animals. Your participation in the internship directly contributes to the well-being of the primates under our care. 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. 

    Unearth the root causes of behavioural challenges in captive settings, empowering yourself to contribute meaningfully to primate welfare and conservation. Don’t miss the chance to be at the forefront of primate care and make a lasting impact on the lives of animals. Join us on this extraordinary journey where passion meets purpose.

    Tagesablauf

    Each week, participants will engage in a learning experience consisting of one in-depth lecture, setting the tone for practical training throughout the week. For instance, if the lecture covers self-comforting behaviours, practical sessions will involve observing our primates to identify individuals exhibiting such behaviours and applying acquired knowledge to understand their underlying causes. To grasp the comprehensive care captive animals need, interns will actively participate in tasks typically performed by volunteers, including cleaning enclosures, feeding, and food preparation.
    Work will start at 8 am every morning and finish at 4 pm, with a two-hour lunch break in between.
    You will have weekends off to relax or explore the area.

    Freizeitaktivitäten

    On the weekends you can organize group trips to places such as Kruger National Park, Horseback Safaris, Lion and Rhino Park, Wonder Caves, Apartheid Museum and many more.
