DolphinCare Volunteer in Ponta do Ouro, Mozambique

Volunteer stays and Internships offer a unique opportunity for one to gain hands on experience that focuses on marine mammals and ethical, responsible and educational tourism. For some it's a sabbatical journey tuning into mother nature and for others it is a platform to deepen their relationship with wild dolphins and to extend their knowledge base in a myriad of different ways. Gather data with Angie Gullan while getting up-close to the Dolphins of Ponta while snorkeling. Participate and contribute to the various project run at the Center that include but are not limited to the resident dolphins ID cataloguing, land based observations, structured beach clean-ups, microplastic surveys and stranding project. One can expect to have regular in-water encounters with the local dolphins while assisting Angie both at sea and behind the desk.

The best time in Mozambique

October 05, 2019by: Carolin Kalmbach - Germany

Program: DolphinCare Volunteer in Ponta do Ouro, Mozambique

Meeting the local Bottlenose Dolphins for the very first time was such a breathtaking experience. Watching them interacting in such a friendly manner with us humans. The way they showed their interest towards us and especially looking at their relationship with Angie was such a wonderful way to start each day. I am very thankful for the whole DERC team, letting me be a part of you. Especially Sabrina for spending each day with me, being such a lovely friend and sharing all your knowledge about the ocean creatures with me.There is no better opportunity to learn about the local dolphins, whales and the whole research program than spending time with Angie and the team. Doing all the different work like the micro-plastic collection, skeleton or office work and beach cleanup. After all that I had an absolute wonderful month spending my time in Ponta do Ouro, and gaining an even stronger love for the Dolphins.
