UPDATE – NOVEMBER 2025: We accept volunteer applications for all of the SAASA sanctuaries (Monkeyland, Birds of Eden, Jukani and The Hidden Forest). For more information about the volunteer programs, please contact Paula Hallam volunteer@saasa.org.za
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Our sanctuaries all have a strict no-touch policy. If you are looking for a place where you can cuddle wild animals the SAASA sanctuaries are not for you.
Why Volunteer With SAASA?
Volunteering with SAASA is more than helping out — it’s becoming part of a mission that restores dignity, freedom, and safety to animals who’ve suffered in captivity. Every hour you give directly improves their world: cleaner forests, safer environments, enriched habitats, and the daily care that makes true rehabilitation possible. Your time becomes hope, and your effort becomes a tangible part of each animal’s second chance.
When you volunteer with us, you join a community that believes in ethical sanctuaries, hands-off care, and giving wildlife the life they were always meant to have. Here, your work matters. Here, you help change lives.
Your support — whether through donations, volunteering in person, or buying forest squares — protects the land and our rescued primates. By supporting SAASA, you safeguard real forests, real lives, and a future where wildlife is free and respected. Together, we give every rescued animal a second chance. Help us help them – Click here
