Highlights
Get back to basics
When did you last stop and listen to the sounds of nature? With the fast pace of modern life one of the biggest thrills can be switching off. Camping under the stars, discovering how good food tastes after a hard day’s work, connecting with people around a campfire. These are things that remind us what it is to be alive.
Explore the true wilderness
In Botswana, you will have the opportunity to explore the last true African wilderness. Volunteering in the Okavango Delta will help you disconnect from modern-day life, and provide a new perspective to the everyday.
Varied accommodation
All three projects you’ll visit offer a different style of accommodation. One is high up on a hill, with spectacular views of the surrounding Greater Kruger National Park. Another is a comfortable farmhouse within a community-owned reserve. And the third is a remote camp in the heart of the Okavango wilderness, where an elephant might brush past your tent at night!
Hands-on wildlife conservation
Whether it’s watching as the team deal with the medical care of a cheetah or identifying a particular rhino and passing that information to the anti-poaching team, you will be able to get stuck in and learn the realities of this exciting work.
Be in the moment
When you are tracking a lion on foot through the bush, tuned to every sound and movement around you, the hot sun on your back and an expert tracker and his dog at your side, your senses are heightened and the rest of the world drops away.
Help conserve Africa’s most iconic species
Collect vital data to help the conservation efforts of some of Africa's most iconic and vulnerable species such as elephants, cheetahs, lions, rhinos, wild dogs, and pangolins.
Elephants with the space to thrive
Elephants need vast intact wildlife areas to be able to flourish. There are only a few places left in Africa where there is enough free-ranging space to sustain them. You’ll visit two areas where the population of African elephants, the largest land mammal on earth, is steadily increasing.
Help save the pangolin
Pangolins are currently the most trafficked mammal in the world, due to the unfounded claims of their magical medicinal properties. While volunteering you will both support and contribute to the ground-breaking research that is fighting to protect this incredible species.
The complete picture of rhino conservation
Support a project where rhino numbers are successfully increasing, to another where protection against poachers is key to saving this magnificent species. The dedicated teams of experts will teach you the importance of both sides of rhino conservation.
Protect lion mega populations
The preservation of large wildlife areas that can sustain mega populations of animals is a priority in conservation. Here you have the opportunity to visit and contribute to the protection of two out of the five places left in Africa that is home to mega populations of over 2000 lions.
