Orangutan Volunteer Program – TAFE Tour 28th Dec 2019

A priceless opportunity to make a practical difference in the survival of the Borneo Orangutan.

Enrichment programs are vital for captive orangutans as they teach them how to forage for food, build, modify and use tools, increase agility and develop skills to survive in the wild.

This special TAFE Tour will begin on the 28th of December.  You should aim to arrive either early the morning of the 28th or the night before (27th Dec).  The tour will conclude on the 6th of January, so please book departing flights for either morning/afternoon/evening of the 6th.  Any additional nights accommodation will be incur and extra charge.
