Conservation Placements In Southern Africa

The Reserves we work with are spread throughout Southern Africa including South Africa, and Botswana. Covering hundreds of thousands of hectares and teeming with large game including the “Big 5” (elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino, leopard), as well as small mammals, reptiles and insects. By working on projects such as studying Leopards and Elephants or carrying out Wildlife Rehabilitation work, you will make a real difference to some of the world’s most vibrant but vulnerable wildlife and environments. Gain a deeper understanding of African ecology, meet like-minded people and develop fresh skills – all while making a valuable contribution to conservation and getting up close to a huge diversity of African wildlife.
