Program Overview

Enjoy the best of both worlds with your children in this family volunteering and adventure program. Immerse yourself in the culture of Swaziland while helping build or renovate much-needed infrastructure, including homes or shelters for orphaned children. Witness wildlife animals, including the Big 5, during game drives in Kruger National Park. The Family Volunteering: Swaziland Building to Kruger Adventure program is an unforgettable combination of community service and safari experience.

In Swaziland, help experienced builders with a range of building activities, from making blocks to fitting roofs. Adults work according to instructions and younger kids take on supportive tasks, with the assistance of parents.

In South Africa, groups enjoy big game viewing, guided bush walks, and night drives. At the same time, learn about the plants and animals of the African savanna and the importance of protecting this beautiful yet fragile ecosystem.

This project requires the motivation to work hard and follow instructions. Carpentry, building, electrical, and plumbing skills would be a great asset, but not necessary.
