About Program
Volunteer in South Africa and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Our program is based on actual conservation work. Unlike most programs that just keep you busy, you are expected to take part in all activities ranging from perimeter patrols and reserve maintenance to game counts and wildlife relocations, plus so much more.
Along with other participants, you stay in a luxury shared accommodation with all the amenities that you might need.
Spend a minimum of 2 weeks on the reserve, with the option to extend up to eight weeks. We welcome volunteers who are 18 years or older and reasonably fit and in good health.
