Ape Action Africa offers volunteers one to three months of demanding but rewarding work caring for the animals in Cameroon’s Mefou Primate Sanctuary, set in approximately 820 hectares of tropical rainforest. All volunteers live and work at the forest site, which is home to almost 300 rescued primates.
Visit
Every year, more than 3,500 people make the 45-minute trip from Yaounde to visit Ape Action Africa’s sanctuary at Mefou Primate Park.
