I would love to do this, but what's the average age? I worry that it would mainly be 18-19 year olds.

Hi,

Thanks great you're thinking about going to South Africa! We get all ages at the Lion Park! The majority of people are 18-25, but 41% of our volunteers are over 25! If you'd like any more information just visit the link in the info box at the top right of this video.

Happy travels!

LOL to think I was worried about being 22 :P I'm planning to go at the end of next year - just have to save the money!

22? You're a positive spring chicken! That's great that you're planning to go - if you've got any questions or want to know more about the project our travel guys are always here to help at 1300 88 15 90.

Happy travels!

I want to be a Animal Conservationist once i finished college.

I love all the Big Cats.

The Lions are lovely.

I want to go to South Africa and do some work with the cats, but need to get the money.

This looks like the most beautiful rewarding job even cleaning the poo looks fun!, how would you apply to become a volunteer? I'm coming to see the world cup in SA from Australia

i've been there twice it's quite possibly the best experience ever.
