1. Malawi Rehabilitation Centre

The Malawi Rehab Centre was set up in 2007 by a Trust of passionate local patrons, the Dept of National Parks & Wildlife and members of the Born Free Foundation.

The team consists of about 30 people including a vet, animal carers, educators, volunteers etc.

Dr Richard Ssuna Jasper Lepema Jerrine Barnett Veterinary Consultant Animal Care Manager Project Manager

The centre depends on donations and money paid by visitors who do a two hour tour.

Students will be hands on feeding the orphans around the clock at various times of the year.

Baby vervet monkeys must learn how to feed. They can cry for their mother for a couple of days when they first arrive until they have stabilised.

The animals need to be fed daily and their cages/enclosures kept clean.

Students can help with the rehabilitation process – introducing new animals to enclosures and the release of animals at release sites.

Priority is given to Vet students doing their EMS and they can assist the vet with checking the new arrivals, injuries, sickness etc.

Vet students can assist the vet with any necessary surgical procedures.

The centre has a vet clinic with an anaesthetic machine and vet students can keep the clinic organized and well stocked.

The centre is an educational facility for the public and children.

Animals at the sanctuary include a rarely seen serval ...

... Kambuku the leopard blue monkeys ...

... Bella, the lioness Yoda, the bush baby...

and many more.

Students will have 1 day off a week although they will need to be flexible due to unforeseen emergencies.

In their free time it’s possible to go canoeing or lake diving or even on safari (at students’ costs).

The house has mixed dorm-style accommodation with electricity, kitchen, lounge area, bathroom and hot showers.

Volunteers have a food allowance to buy and prepare their own food. There are also many good restaurants just a short drive away.
