Working with monkeys

Several of the most popular projects that we offer at The Great Projects involve working with monkeys, and these cheeky animals are often a highlight for our volunteers! We can offer you the chance to work with monkeys in some spectacular locations including; Peru, Bolivia, Namibia, South Africa and more. The locations of our projects are all fantastic places to visit with amazing people, stunning scenery and fascinating culture, but for many, it is adorable monkeys that make these trips once in a lifetime experiences. By lending your time to the primates through the various volunteering projects we have on offer, you can really help to create a future for these amazing animals.

In most of the projects, you will work with monkeys that have been orphaned, with most living in sanctuaries for their protection. You could be involved in everything from maintenance of the sanctuary to acting as a surrogate parent! There is a huge variety of monkeys you can encounter on our projects - if you choose the Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, you will encounter vervet monkeys, while on the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary project you will work with baby baboons. Have you ever heard a proboscis monkey sing? It is something you truly won't forget, and you can experience it by volunteering with The Great Projects! 

Monkeys are in dire need of help all around the world, so what are you waiting for? Get stuck in and work with monkeys today!
