This volunteer project involves wilderness conservation and the protection of endangered wildlife such as wild dogs, lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, and leopards.

Accompanied by your international volunteer team and an experienced supervisor, you will set off before sunrise on the back of an open off-road vehicle to search for wild animals using gadgets like tracking collars. You will learn how to monitor these gadgets, allowing you to work more independently. Once the animals have been located, the sighting itself, the behavior, and the food patterns will be recorded and documented for research purposes. 

After lunchtime and a short siesta, you’ll return for a second trip into the bush. One day per week is reserved exclusively for data entry and analysis in the camp. You may also be involved in checking camera traps, carrying out game counts, bird-watching, photographing animals, removing non-endemic plant species, or accompanying professional staff to mark certain animals such as rhinoceros for data collection and research purposes – depending on the length of your stay.
