Volunteer Safaris
Can you imagine yourself helping to collar a rhino or rehabilitating a baby elephant? Adding a volunteer element to your safari will take you behind the scenes on the wildlife projects that make a real difference. As a volunteer you’ll get right to the heart of a conservation project to see where your philanthropic donation goes, and discover the rewards of working up close and personal with lions, leopards, buffalo and many other species to protect their lives and habitat.
Be prepared to return home with a life-long connection with the program you have visited.
how does it work
The volunteer part of your trip can be short-term (a few days to a few weeks) or longer. It is incorporated into your safari itinerary in a location and project that appeals to you. You can be as hands-on as you want to be, getting down and dirty as you gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and achievements of a project. Great care is taken to match you with the right project, which means there are volunteer safaris for everyone, from families to colleagues to individual travellers.
Volunteer with a trusted team of experts
We collaborate with a team of in-country organizations to take care of all the details for your trip:
-
The non-profit organization to agree details and expectations on both sides. In many cases the projects are associated with the camps we visit regularly.
-
Volunteering specialists who manage the partnership agreements to ensure that your experience matches the project’s needs.
-
Our own safari travel partners to ensure seamless integration of the volunteer portion of your trip with the rest of your safari.
