Description

* Taking care of and pet the animals
* Feeding animals
* Cleaning and maintain cages and areas where the animals are held
* Guiding tours through the park
* Attend park visitors at the recreation zones
* Assistance in advertisement campaigns

During your Work & Travel stay at the Safari-Park, you will perform diverse tasks in order to make your day more diversified. On the one hand you will work directly with the animals and help to feed them, look after them and pet them. You will also be asked to clean and maintain the cages and the zones where the animals are held.

On the other hand you will get in contact with park visitors and guide them through the park. You first will get an introduction about the animals, their habits and typical behaviors. But it's not only to show visitors around but also to create awareness among them to conserve our planet earth and our unique wildlife. You will attend and entertain the visitors as well at the recreation zones of the park where they can relax and rest.

For a change, you will not only work outside rather than assist with administrative work and perform marketing tasks like the development of advertisement and commercial campaigns.
