Animal Conservation Volunteer in South Africa
- South Africa
About Program
Agape's wildlife conservation programme in South Africa gives volunteers the chance to engage in front-line conservation work, protecting endangered species in Marakele National Park in South Africa. Our local team of dedicated animal protection staff are committed to ensuring that the lions, white & black rhinos, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes and hyenas of the Park are given the care they need, but we also require volunteers to help continue this vital work.
As a wildlife conservation volunteer in South Africa you will be involved in a variety of the exciting activities required to ensure that the animals native to Marakele National Park are protected from the growing threats of climate change and poaching. Some of the nature reserve volunteering projects that you will assist in include animal monitoring, anti-poaching, and park management. Volunteers go on at two game drives per day, ensuring that most of you time is spent where the need is greatest: with the animals.

South Africa is often thought of as resoundingly unstable and poor; however, this is far from the case. The duality in South Africa encompasses big cities with a well-developed infrastructure, as well as rural areas that are underdeveloped and impoverished. South Africa is well known for having 11 recognized languages, beautiful landscapes, world-class universities, and an abundance of animals.
