APPLY

— Good news! We’re almost ready to officially start our volunteer program. Make sure to keep an eye on our social pages and this website as we will be launching the new page very soon. —

Apply for volunteer work at The Lions Foundation
Reservations will only be confirmed when your application is approved, and a non-refundable 10% deposit is received.

As we work with potentially dangerous animals and the accommodation is built on a hill, we regret that we cannot approve applications from physically and/or mentally less-abled people.

You can currently volunteer with us for a minimum of one week, starting on a Tuesday or Thursday. We do value long-term commitment, so the longer you stay, the more responsibilities you can get and the cheaper the rate. We cannot guarantee availability on the dates of your choice, but if your application is approved, we will do our best to accommodate you.

Rates are in South African Rand. Please note that the rate in Euro and Dollar is only an indication. Please check the rate in your currency, as values fluctuate.

Every following, extra week is ZAR5000

The price of the volunteer programme includes:

• Accommodation
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner
• Tea, coffee and water

Not included in the price:

• Travel expenses (international and local flights)
