Volunteer Programs in Namibia

Namibia offers extraordinary volunteer programs for those interested in becoming caretakers of the environment, wildlife, and the people of Namibia. Home to the oldest desert and tallest sand dunes in the world, this active and environmentally cautious country has endless outdoor volunteer opportunities. The environment and conservation is deeply valued in Namibia; it was even one of the first African countries to incorporate protecting the environment (and its animals!) into their constitution. Make a difference by volunteering in Namibia and experience the mesmerizing landscape and local people!

I would really like to volunteer. I am passionate about charity and showing kindness to the world. Please, give me a chance. Kindly provide Certificate of sponsorship too since I'm not able to provide for myself at the moment. Kindly put my request into consideration.

This program meant so much

This project meant a lot to me personally, as it was my first solo and eco-volunteering experience. I learned a lot about myself and gained confidence. It brought me closer to my lifelong passion for animals. Professionally, it confirmed my desire to find a job more aligned with my values. Even though my field isn’t related to wildlife, I plan to do more wildlife eco-volunteering or get involved with animal protection organizations.
