Eco-Tourism Volunteering in Swaziland

Join our tailored Kruger to Swaziland Building and Volunteer Adventure, which is a combination of adventure and volunteering. This wonderful experience begins in South Africa, referred to as the Rainbow Nation and known worldwide for its rich wildlife, environmental, and cultural diversity. Spend two weeks in Kruger National Park, the biggest and most famous national park in the country. Get the chance to tour the park while understanding and observing its global importance when it comes to biodiversity and conservation. The adventure continues in Swaziland where you will take part in a challenging yet rewarding building project aimed at helping the Orphaned and Vulnerable Children. End the experience with a free weekend of exploration and sightseeing. Participants of this project must have a level of physical fitness as it is a manual volunteering project. Make sure you have undertaken some exercise as you may well be working in temperatures that are warmer than you are used to. Volunteers should enjoy interacting with others and working as a team.

Experience hands-on field research related to the conservation of savannah ecosystems in the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly called Swaziland). Although savannahs are well-represented in African conservation areas, they are subjected to increasing degradation as a result of human influences, including land use and climate change. Well known for large charismatic game such as elephants, rhinos, and lions, there are a variety of smaller species that are threatened and are arguably more critical to the functioning of savannahs. Depending on priorities and active studies at the time of participation, volunteers may study vegetation, bats, hyenas, small predators (like mongoose, genets, and jackal), rodents, ungulates (such as giraffe and antelope), reptiles, birds, and other plant and animal life in Eswatini’s Lubombo Conservancy. They will examine the interface among commercial agriculture, rural communities, and protected areas in this Southern African region and learn from our experienced conservationists. They will be based at our Savannah Research Centre and camp in the private Mbuluzi Game Reserve, working at the Mlawula Nature Reserve and Hlane Royal National Park located nearby.
