    As a conservation volunteer, you'll get closer to wildlife than regular visitors

Climate change, the poaching crisis, and growing human populations mean South Africa’s wildlife is under threat like never before.

As a wildlife researcher on this project, you’ll join the team in creating a new kind of safari reserve where people and animals can live together in harmony.

Unlike other wildlife reserves, which are run for individual profit, the land here is owned by the local community, many of whom are from the Zulu nation. So its success is good for Africa’s people and good for Africa’s animals too.

Right now, this project is working alongside the WWF to expand the range of the endangered black rhino. As a volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in this amazing story and support the reserve’s research team in managing a huge variety of wildlife – including some of Africa’s largest populations of rhino and cheetahs.

Living on a safari reserve, you’ll have the chance to get closer to the animals than regular tourists. You’ll also learn about Africa's wildlife – including elephant, rhino, lion, cheetah and pangolin – from the people who work with them every day.

“The team have provided me with memories that will last a lifetime and an endless amount of stories that I will treasure forever.”

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.
