Make an impact with a dedicated group of conservationists

The impact that Wildlife ACT is making can be felt from day 1, run by experienced staff who truly love working to conserve endangered species. They don't spend money on fancy accommodations or padding the wallets of their owners. The founders of this group still work in the field, doing the dirty, dangerous work on the front lines, with scant resources, fueled by volunteers and dedication. A favorite experience, among so many, was feeding the cheetah in the boma, who was awaiting his release into the reserve. Or sitting for 30 minutes at camp, midday, within 10 feet of a young nyala buck, just spending quiet time and getting some incredible photos. Night drives are an exciting part, and the lookout tower offers amazing vistas. The primary goal each day is to find and monitor critically endangered animals on the reserve, and this paid off as we found that one of the female wild dogs had a wire snare around her neck. We tranquilized her and removed the deadly snare, which was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can't recommend this hard-working group enough, if you want to really make a difference and learn a lot as you do.
