Do you want to see wildlife conservation from a new perspective? Would you like to combine your love of horse riding with the chance to protect Africa’s wildlife? Then this is the experience for you.

Based on a private wildlife reserve, this project is home to a stable of retired racehorses. These amazing animals are the perfect vehicles to patrol South Africa’s challenging landscape – and scare off potential poachers.

As a volunteer on this experience, you’ll go on daily horseback rides and come face to face with giraffe, zebra, warthog and other wildlife. The patrol leaders are very knowledgeable and will give you a real understanding of the local wildlife. They’ll even show you how to track different animals in the wilderness.

Exploring the bush from the saddle will give you the chance to discover remote locations most tourists never get to see. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you’ll get involved with the care and stabling of the thoroughbred herd, winners of 37 races between them!

Please bear in mind, as a volunteer on this project, you’ll need to be comfortable controlling a spirited horse both from the ground and in the saddle – even if it becomes spooked by other animals during a patrol.

Die Freiwilligen-Organisation stellt sich vor

Since 1999, our organisation has empowered gap year travellers to work hands-on with Africa’s wildlife. As experts in conservation, we’ve helped thousands of volunteers gain skills for their university applications or future careers, all while creating gap year experiences that are anything but tame.

We’ve also supported those that are simply searching for a meaningful wildlife experience instead of the usual safari holiday. We do this by offering a variety of opportunities including being able to volunteer at wildlife care and rehabilitation centres to aid orphaned and injured animals; assist with wildlife conservation management in order to monitor priority species and contribute to vital research; and being able to live the life of an African wildlife vet while meeting the requirements for Extra Mural Studies (EMS) and Animal Husbandry Extra Mural Studies (AHEMS).

Together, we can create a brighter future for Africa’s wildlife.
