DAKTARI is a registered nonprofit company based in South Africa, close to the Kruger National Park. DAKTARI is also a bush school that operates a wildlife orphanage, where the objective is to inspire and educate local underprivileged children to care for their environment through wildlife conservation. Every Monday we welcome a new group of eight underprivileged South African children for a week and give them the opportunity to discover, learn, and become passionate about wildlife and environmental conservation – their heritage. We also supplement their academic curriculum in English, Mathematics, Geography, life skills, and social issues. Our aim is to enable the youth of today to secure good employment in nature reserves in the future and improve their quality of life.

StaffSilke is 23 years old and lives in Belgium. Her biggest passions in life are cats and food and she lost her heart in Africa when she volunteered for s...
Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to work with animals. I could barely speak yet when I told my parents I'd have a dog hotel when I grew up. But then life happened and marketing seemed like a better option. When I finally finished school, I booked four (which turned into six) weeks at DAKTARI as a little present for myself. I quickly lost my heart here and applied for a long-term position with Michèle. Luckily she was crazy enough to say yes!

StaffMarie Bauvin is a French young professional with a passion for conservation and wildlife, dedicating her time and energy to make an impact.
I had long dreamt about living in Africa and working towards a meaningful project, surrounded by wildlife. The commitment and passion from Michele and Ian, the co-founders of DAKTARI, is so inspiring that I immediately knew I wanted to be part of the family. They have dedicated their lives to this project and it is an honour to be able to do my bit.
