On the third Sunday of July, we join the nationwide celebration of National Zoo Keeper Week by shining a spotlight on the incredible efforts of our dedicated keepers here at Out of Africa Wildlife Park. This special week focuses on the tireless work these professionals do to protect and preserve our precious wildlife and their vanishing habitats.

Our zoo keepers are more than just caretakers; they are educators and wildlife ambassadors who tirelessly advocate for the animals and the environment. Their passion and commitment help raise awareness about the importance of conservation and the remarkable work that goes on behind the scenes all year round.

The Role of Our Zoo Keepers

Zoo keepers play a crucial role in the day-to-day care and well-being of the animals at Out of Africa Wildlife Park. Their responsibilities include:

• Feeding and Nutrition: Ensuring each animal receives a balanced diet tailored to their specific needs.
• Enrichment Activities: Creating stimulating environments that promote natural behaviors and enhance the animals’ quality of life.
• Health Monitoring: Regularly checking the health of the animals and providing medical care when needed.
• Habitat Maintenance: Maintaining clean, safe, and comfortable habitats for all the animals.

But their work goes beyond these daily tasks. Zoo keepers are also educators who share their knowledge and passion with park visitors, inspiring a deeper understanding and appreciation of wildlife.
