Wildlife Protection in South Africa

This fabulous project was developed to save the lives of South Africa's majestic native animals. The Wildlife Protection program is based on a spectacular game reserve outside Port Elizabeth. The 6000 hectares of land are filled with diverse wildlife species, including the ‘Big 5’. In addition to the mixture of grasslands and subtropical vegetation, the reserve has naturally formed pockets of water, amazing rock formations, and splendid flora.

This program plays a significant role in helping maintain the reserve and protect its animals, with the support of volunteers from around the globe. Like many conservation programs, funds are greatly lacking, and the participation of volunteers is essential to the project's success. Duties vary on a day-to-day basis and are dependent on factors such as the weather. The work is mostly outdoors, sometimes in unpleasant conditions, so volunteers should be willing to lend a hand with all sorts of tasks.
