Experience hands-on field research related to the conservation of savannah ecosystems in the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly called Swaziland). Although savannahs are well-represented in African conservation areas, they are subjected to increasing degradation as a result of human influences, including land use and climate change. Well known for large charismatic game such as elephants, rhinos, and lions, there are a variety of smaller species that are threatened and are arguably more critical to the functioning of savannahs. Depending on priorities and active studies at the time of participation, volunteers may study vegetation, bats, hyenas, small predators (like mongoose, genets, and jackal), rodents, ungulates (such as giraffe and antelope), reptiles, birds, and other plant and animal li...

Tortoise tracking
February 12, 2016by: Sophia Munro - Mbuluzi Game Reserve, savannah research centerProgram: Savannah Conservation Volunteering, Eswatini (Swaziland)I really enjoy being in the middle of the savanna to do my project, because even if tracking tortoises does not always work, we can still go out and watch giraffes and other wild animals. The All Out team is really welcoming and helpful. Swaziland is a beautiful place, but tick bite fever is not very nice to have.

February 12, 2016by: Rhys - Mbuluzi Game ReserveProgram: Savannah Conservation Volunteering, Eswatini (Swaziland)I am partway through time here, wonderful staff who are very happy to help. Also keen to customise the programme to suit my needs and what I want to gain from my time here. Although slightly unrealistic, wifi at the SRC would improve experience; just for improving accessibility to research papers, etc.
