High School Study Abroad in Kimberley, South Africa

Volunteer in a wildlife sanctuary that houses a variety of wild cats such as cheetahs, lions, and leopards and works to rehabilitate as many of them to be released into the wild again. Sadly not all the animals can re-enter the wild again, so they are used as ambassadors for their breed to educate the public about conservation efforts. The sanctuary also works on breeding leopards and cheetahs to help re-populate these species that are currently declining. Volunteers will mainly help with the animal welfare and care, but can also assist with educational seminars and tours. You will be taught how to properly take care of each animal by feeding and cleaning their enclosures. Volunteers will also help with research efforts and nursing sick animals back to health.
