About Program
Oceans 2 Earth Volunteers is an Australian charity organisation specialising in volunteering projects for animal lovers and offers a range of wildlife community focused projects in Kenya committed to the preservation of wildlife and wildlife communities.
Volunteers will work at the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary which is a conservation area for elephants. The Sanctuary was created to reduce human-elephant conflict arising from the large population of both in the area and to generate benefits for community members through wildlife and habitat conservation.
The Sanctuary’s objectives are: -
• To reduce human-elephant conflict within the area.
• To conserve and protect wildlife.
• To ensure that communities and individuals who owned land within the Mwaluganje-Shimba Hills National Reserve corridor could benefit from wildlife conservation and Eco-Tourism development.
The volunteer can choose to undertake a program of their choice based on their area of interest.
Questions & Answers
Location
Kenya is a middle income country, which often comes to a shock to tourists who expect to see a wildly impoverished and unruly country. Following their Independence from British colonial rule, many Kenyans started seeking business ventures alongside the growing tourism, which is even more present today. From the incredible wildlife on land and underwater, you will have a lot of activities that show you the natural beauty of Kenya.
