Info

Are you passionate about wildlife? There are loads of volunteer opportunities to get involved with helping wildlife organisations throughout the world.

From rescuing penguins to helping elephants, if you have a passion for saving endangered species, we'll find you a cause you'll be thrilled to support - personally.

Already, the work of volunteers working with wildlife has helped to secure the future of many precious habitats and species, enabling them to thrive again in their natural habitat. Often, volunteers are the reason why wildlife organisations can continue to function.

Join conservation efforts on a malaria-free Big 5 nature reserve in South Africa's glorious Eastern Cape. Your tasks will be numerous and you will play a vital role in the project. As you assist with game monitoring, caring for elephants and lions in the sanctuary, poaching prevention and community upliftment projects, you will gain invaluable knowledge of the African bush. On the weekends you can relax on some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

Join a golden circle of global citizens who work tirelessly to save our precious mother Earth. You will get involved with all aspects of conservation and help to educate locals as to the importance of nature conservation. As a volunteer the locals will welcome you with open arms and your free time will be jam packed with adventure, beach trips, surfing, hiking and horse-riding.

Near-by National Park's, lodges and larger towns offer something for everyone whether you are a shopper, party animal or mad cap adventurer you won't be disappointed. So what are you waiting for? Come and make you mark as you throw your weight against environmental degradation and destruction.
