Program Overview

Our Volunteer Programme offers a unique and immersive opportunity to experience conservation on an operating wildlife sanctuary in Kenya. Our volunteer itinerary ensures a hands-on and practical experience, offering training in raptor conservation, rescue, rehabilitation and veterinary care, fields few other conservation organisations specialise in.

Volunteers can expect to conduct population surveys and banding studies (pending permits) of African Fish Eagles on Lake Naivasha by boat and on land (a RAMSAR site and birdwatching hotspot in the Rift Valley), monitoring the breeding population of Critically Endangered Ruppell’s Vultures in Hell’s Gate National Park, learning surgical techniques from our in-house avian vet, as well as undertaking important work to improve and protect Kilimandege Sanctuary
