Wild Animal Volunteer Reviews

My time at the Cango Wildlife Ranch was a blast! Not just working with the greatest animals but also with the loveliest, funniest people was an experience for live. The hosts will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive. I’m so thankful for what I expected, I will always live with amazing memories of my time at the Cango Wildlife Ranch.

It was refreshing to work alongside people with such genuine passion for their job. I immediately felt at home and welcomed within the volunteering team. The continuous job variation never allowed for a bored moment and the balance between work and play was struck perfectly by the brilliant WAV hosts. Cango Wildlife Ranch is on the frontline of wildlife conservation efforts and if you want to be part of this movement I would strongly recommend volunteering here!

An absolutely amazing place that gave me an unbelievable experience with magnificent animals wonderful people and a calm loving environment.

If you you want to clear your mind and your body, regain faith in humanity, and put your love of animals into action this is the place!

I have Cango Wildlife Ranch and their animals to thank for the best summer of my life. From the diverse animals to the people, you will feel right where you belong. I have learned and experienced an invaluable amount!

Dear WAV Team at Cango Wildlife Ranch
I want to express my sincere thanks to your whole team for the kindness and care which you all bestowed on my daughter, Charlotte, during her stay with you.
She had an unforgettable time, and she will cherish the many memories she made with all of you, as well as with the special animals in your care.
She thoroughly enjoyed her stay, and has not stopped expressing her fondness of everyone with whom she was in contact.
Thank you for taking her under your wings, for making her feel safe and secure, for providing delicious and nutritious food, for supplying clean and comfortable facilities, for going out of your way to take her on weekend excursions, and for teaching her many life lessons during the daily interactions.
We will highly recommend your programme to everyone! Thank you for everything you are doing to conserve and protect our precious wildlife.
Many thanks!

I spent 2 months (November-December) at the Cango Wildlife Ranch for my internship. It was definitely the best time of my life!
From day 1 you're a part of the WAV family. Made so many new friends that became family, had so much fun with everyone and made so many good memories.
I'll thanks all the staff so much for the great time and good memories.
It was so hard to say goodbye to everyone but I'll come back to see you guys again!

I spent two weeks here this past November and saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done! From day one, I was surrounded by amazing staff and very quickly friends who gave nothing but love and kindness. The work was hard and yet rewarding. Interactions and enrichment was one of my many take aways. Cango has changed my views on many topics regarding animals in captivity and I look forward in sharing this information to other people as well. I can’t wait to come back and see you all again 💕

Volunteering at the Cango Wildlife Ranch was amazing! One month was way to short for me. So many great people and (off course) beautiful animals. I really liked the program! there where a lot off different things to do. Not one day was the same. You'll learn many things about the animals, who you will also meet from nearby. Some things, like visiting the small school, I will always remember. So nice to see all those children smiling by giving them a nice day. Volunteering at the wildlife ranch was the best experience I ever had. I would love to come back some day.

I went 3 times to Cango and 2 times as volunteer... hope to come back again because it was my fav experience I did in my life. Enrichments for animals are the best thing I love that so much just see the behaviour of the animal and receive lot of interesting informations thanks to the curators, handlers and people form the tour. So everyday you can learn more and more. Every people take care about you and try to take the time to explain you lot of things. Even after work you can stay and be with the animals.
Thanks so much. I know I will come back.

I really had the best time of my life!

Everyday was so much fun. You learn tons of information about the animals and get the chance to get very close to them. The staff was amazing and they take really good care of their animals.

The Hosts are very welcoming, friendly and always there for you if you need something.

If you're thinking about going to Cango as a volunteer, I can only say... do it!
I can't wait to come back!
