  • Description

    Help save Swaziland's precious wildlife at a spectacular reserve, perched in a prime location within this idyllic corner of Africa. Rehabilitate and reintroduce animals such as cheetahs, wild dogs, baboons, lions, and leopards. Hand-feed some of Africa's greatest predators, and fall into a deep and satisfying sleep after a rewarding and emotionally challenging day. Deep in the untamed bush, you will be awed and inspired by its Africa's rugged beauty. A country to explore, Swaziland offers a unique travel experience and hosts some of nature's greatest creations!

    * What Will I Be Doing?

    You'll help care for injured or orphaned animals in a tropical wildlife sanctuary, preparing them for release back into the African rangelands where possible or for an improved life within the sanctuary. During your time at the wildlife refuge you'll carry out basic tasks such as cleaning cages and caring for and feeding the animals and clearing out their enclosures.
