The people are wonderful, the owners are so supportive and go above and beyond for every staff member. There is a real family feeling here and everyone cares about each other.
1. Family atmosphere
2. Access to the most beautiful animals in the world 😍
3. International feeling in a small town
4. Caring management team but the owners are amazing. They helped my family when no one else could and I am forever grateful
5. Great energy and activity plus opportunity for in-house hiring and growth in business and skills
6. On-site vet centre and crèche (so unique)
Cons
1. The pay isn’t great at the moment but they are in constant communication about it. This is not the norm however and tips made pre-Covid were great so hoping for it to improve
2. Long hours in season
3. Oudtshoorn is a small town but is close enough to drive to places with entertainment facilities etc. I personally loved the safety and community you feel in small towns but it’s not for everyone
