Description

Even before you arrive at our Conservation project in Southern Africa, you will see some stunning wilderness on your journey to base camp. You will fly into Polokwane, in the northern region of South Africa, and then drive across the Botswana border. Your final destination is Kwa Tuli - our large nature reserve.

You will stay at the reserve, which is well facilitated to accommodate volunteers. It has large and spacious safari tents, showers that are open to the stars, a big outside communal area, and a fire circle with a braai pit (similar to a BBQ). All of this is set against beautiful scenery and the impressive wildlife of the Limpopo River.

Highlights

Volunteering on this project is hard work, a lot of fun and extremely interesting. You will be involved in wrapping trees to prevent damage from elephants, removing alien plants, and collecting scientific data about the birds and elephants living on the reserve.

Our conservation staff will accompany volunteers as all times. They have a great deal of experience with the tasks and activities volunteers are involved in as well as extensive knowledge about the region's geography. They will pass on their expertise and enthusiasm to you and you will lean a lot from the experience of living in the bush.

Projects Abroad's Mission Statement

As part of the global economy, Projects Abroad helps create local employment wherever we send volunteers. Employing local staff overseas and using their talents and knowledge is important to us. This local knowledge and support enables the organization to channel the skills of the volunteers from more affluent countries to regions around the world where they are needed. Volunteers also learn from their placements and the people they meet, and they gain experience in a chosen field. In the 21st century, we believe this mutual respect is what cultural exchange is all about.
