About Program
This project provides volunteers with the unique opportunity to gain hands on experience caring for injured and orphaned African Wildlife. The sanctuary is a safe haven for a number of species including lions, leopard, cheetah, wild dog and baboons. Long term rehabilitation is the primary aim for the project; however some animals will never be able to return to the wild due to human activity. As a volunteer you will be taking part in all aspects of the care and feeding of the animals, help to maintain and develop the sanctuary and becoming surrogate parents to our orphaned baby baboons.
The sanctuary is situated in a 1500 hectare reserve within striking distance of Windhoek. The reserve boasts all kinds of wildlife, freely roaming the land including leopard, cheetah, kudu, oryx, hartebeest, springbok, warthog, ostrich, caracal, jackal, baboon, African wild cat, mongoose, meerkat and various bird species. Namibia is well known for its stunning landscapes and the reserve is no exception.
Volunteers also get the opportunity to work alongside our carnivore experts and Bushman trackers in our conservation research program. This may include getting involved with the monitoring activities of a number of leopard and cheetah within the local area.
