About Program
Volunteer with wildlife and animals on one of our diverse volunteer projects either based on wildlife protected reserves monitoring endangered species, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, veterinary both with wildlife and domestic species, animal sanctuaries that are "species specific" with big cats and predators, monkeys, horses and exotic and indigenous animals, wolves and wolf dogs and marine conservation with sharks, whales and penguins. Our projects are in South Africa and Zanzibar and with Zimbabwe coming soon.
We, Volunteer International Adventures, are a small personal hands-on volunteer organisation with 14 years experience of working with volunteers. It is something we are very passionate about - assisting where there is a need. We believe in responsible and ethical volunteering experiences and offer as inclusive an experience as possible so that you can focus on assisting on your chosen project bringing much needed hands-on help while immersing yourself in local culture.
