Program Details

First of all, the most important is that you like all kind of animals and will be eager to learn about them and their characteristics. Animals mean a lot of pooh, too - so you should not be scared of this.

You will be close to llamas, camels, horses, ponies, donkeys and some smaller animals. If you are open, you will get to know all their personalities and they will also show you things about you. You should not be afraid of "being the boss".

Even if you are not a professional or only a starter with animal care, we can support you in learning the work with the animals. Many volunteers have already accepted the challenge and most of them succeeded!

We are a bit in the countryside, so you will need the bike to go a bit further. But you can borrow these. If you want to go somewhere on your days off, we can drive you by car to the train station.
