Big 5 African Wildlife & Conservation | The ultimate volunteer & travel in South Africa
- South Africa
- Port Elizabeth
About Program
Everyone has heard of the BIG 5! The “must-see” animals in Africa!
Are you ready for your disappointing fact of the day? The Big 5 is called that, because they were the most difficult animals to hunt. Because of this “claim to fame” hunters have gone overboard, now each one of these animals is now endangered, and needs YOUR help!
This volunteer trip will put you right in the heart of South Africa’s gorgeous Eastern Cape. It’ll be your job to track the movements of wild herds across a 6,000-hectare private game reserve on an open top safari!
You’re going to be making a meaningful impact, and making sure that the “Big 5” will be around to hunt (with cameras of course) for many generations to come!
Make lifelong friends and memories while doing some truly meaningful work getting up close and personal with some amazing animals, with pretty much everything you can think of already included!

Program Highlights
- Rest easy knowing that your placement has been highly vetted. We’ve been there and worked with them personally, so we know from experience that they’re doing amazing work!
- Accommodation and food all included so pretty much your only expenses will be if you head off site to explore South Africa on days off.
- Arrive in safety, comfort and style with return airport transfers. 6,000 hectares is a very large area, so we’ll get you there safely.
- Personal Trip Coordinator, ongoing support from our in-country partners & 24/7 Global Emergency Line.
- We’re going to continue supporting your travel dreams! We know that once that travel bug bites, it bites hard! To help, we’re going to give you a $200 Global Tour Voucher AND $250 off your next trip when you decide to travel with us again in the future.
