My working experience with the Cheetahs in South Africa

February 24, 2026by: Petra Abbott

Program: South Africa - African Wildlife Ranch

10

Working with the cheetahs in South Africa, taking them on walks and having interactions with them was such a highlight. Watching the operation on the white bengal tiger during my first week was amazing too.

My unforgettable experience trying scuba diving

February 24, 2026by: Edward Welsh

Program: Portugal – Marine Conservation in Lisbon

10

The most memorable experiences of the trip was the scuba diving, unfortunately i was not there long enough to pick up much trash, but it was really cool to be down in the water anyway. I also loved touring the city and seeing all the historical parts of portugal.

Being a member of the Research Team and going out on Game Drives to gather data

February 24, 2026by: Kathy Anderson

Program: South Africa - Big Five & Endangered Species Reserve

10

I enjoyed being a member of the Research Team and going out on Game Drives to gather data. We saw, identified and photographed numerous animals to determine if they were in our log or needed to be added. There were informative presentations related to animal species, behavior and habits.

I grew up traveling a lot with my family. When I turned 17 years old and had a school holiday where I had nothing to do, I thought it was about time that I traveled on my own.

Carly Mellon

Participated in 2017

Alumni

I was really craving adventure. I felt like I was so stuck in my city and needed to go away and experience something else. I wasn't quite sure if I could manage planning a trip all by myself, so I figured travelling with some sort of volunteer organization would give me the experience that I wanted and be organized. I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife, so I wanted to do something around that.
