Tetimonials & Reviews
Conservation, carrying out a pest assessment at a local hotel with one of the other volunteers. Its a great place to work and relax. The staff and volunteers were all so warm and welcoming. My only regret was not being able to stay longer.
~Nicola - UK Volunteer
The place is lush. There is so much greenery and diversity and down a stony path is the beach. The sand is white, the sea is turquoise and there are loads of palm trees. Being in this coastal forest with baboons, vervet, Sykes and colobus monkeys moving freely around meant I’d already gotten everything out of this trip I’d hoped for.
~Selina - UK Volunteer
The staff and other volunteers at Colobus were amazing. The staff was very humble and helpful and thanks to them, I learned so much! Colobus conservation is a haven for the endangered Angolan colobus monkeys and also a greater haven for volunteers too!
~Rose - Kenyan Volunteer
My time volunteering at Colobus Conservation Limited ranks as one of the best experiences of my life. My 10 weeks volunteering gave me an all-round experience of conservation in action, involving, primate care, community education, primate assessment, orphan care, welfare call outs, fundraising ( a charity walk) and a chance to be involved in the annual primate census.
