Endangered Wildlife Monitoring and Conservation
Program Overview
Volunteer with us and be part of a team of dedicated conservationists, researchers, and wildlife experts working on five wildlife reserves. Support efforts in monitoring and tracking endangered and priority species, focusing on African wild dogs, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, leopards, lions, and vultures. Wildlife reserves are rotated every two weeks, depending on how long you volunteer and how many reserves you will be volunteering in.
This exciting project—a truly unforgettable experience—doesn't need previous experience, as all volunteers undergo training and receive supervision in their research, monitoring, and tracking duties. However, you must have a real love of the African bush and the fascinating animals inhabiting it, as well as the awareness you're far from the fast pace of the city.
Each reserve has a different focus in terms of the work done. While the project plans and follows basic schedules, the nature of the work done dictates that the animals and their environment are our top priority. Therefore, our schedules, may at times, have to be altered due to unforeseen circumstances or incidents within this wild and dynamic environment.
