Experience the Thrill of Conservation Volunteering in Africa.
Become a Wildlife Hero: Rehabilitate orphaned elephants, lions, and cheetahs in breathtaking South Africa!
This program takes in wild animals from various unfortunate backgrounds, such as rescues from culling programs, orphaned cubs that would not survive in the wild, or animals that were being kept in inhumane conditions.
An orphaned animal is an animal that lost its parents at a young age (to another predator, or a hunt) and would not survive in the wild on its own.
People typically spend 2 to 4 weeks here, but of course, it’s up to you!
ANSWER THE CALL OF THE WILD
Imagine walking alongside rescued elephants, feeling the rumble of their footsteps as you stroll through the African bush. Picture yourself preparing enrichment activities for a playful leopard, watching it stalk and pounce on its new toy. This is your chance to experience the magic of African wildlife while making a real difference.
Become a wildlife conservation volunteer in South Africa and work side-by-side with our expert team to provide care for rescued and orphaned animals, including elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, and more. You’ll participate in rehabilitation activities, assist with feeding and exercise, and contribute to habitat enrichment projects.
Immerse yourself in the stunning South African landscape, forge unforgettable bonds with incredible creatures, and gain invaluable experience in wildlife conservation. This is more than just volunteering; it’s a journey of personal growth and transformation.
No previous experience is necessary, just a passion for wildlife and a willingness to learn. Join our tight-knit community of like-minded volunteers and create lasting memories while making a difference.
