WILDLIFE VOLUNTEERING: THE RED FLAGS MOST PEOPLE MISS

What I enjoyed most was seeing the real impact of the projects first-hand: meeting the people working on the ground day in, day out, and understanding just how much of a genuine difference you can make simply by getting stuck into wildlife veterinary work alongside them.
Africa is truly amazing, and I'd encourage anyone with even an inkling to go to just do it. I travelled alone and came home having made so many friends, of all ages, from right across the globe.
Going on a project like this will completely change your perspective on what is really important and will give you resources to help make a positive difference in the world. I am already planning my trip back and I am so grateful for everyone who made this experience possible!
All the activities we did were amazing, and we even got to visit the lions being lovingly cared for at the sanctuary and learn each of their individual stories. Seeing the dedication that goes into providing lifelong care for these animals was incredibly moving.
Everything I experienced here, from the amazing guide who took us, to seeing the animals in their natural habitats, is something I’ll never forget!
African Conservation Experience were incredibly supportive throughout the experience, which is very helpful when it is your first time travelling alone.
I have been very content working with cats and dogs in my daily work, but I now have a new perspective on veterinary medicine.
We felt like we were actually helping the animals and the team without just standing there like we were just observers.
