Gap Year Programs in Gauteng Province,South Africa

Be part of an incredible project and work with the famous Kevin Richardson, a wildlife conservationist. The project brings public awareness to the dangers facing lions and other carnivores native to South Africa. This is a rigorous project and volunteers get their hands dirty, but it’s a wonderful opportunity to join the conservation effort and help make a difference. The sanctuary sits on 1200 hectares and was transformed from an old farm. It is in constant need of maintenance and restoration. Volunteers will have an array of responsibilities including general cleaning and maintenance of the land, building walking trails, and removing any foreign plants and weeds. When volunteers are not assisting with projects for the farm, you will have the chance to interact and help with the animals. This includes cleaning their enclosures and feeding them.
