Conservation Travel Africa specialise in providing meaningful and worthwhile volunteer holidays across Southern Africa.

What Makes Us Different?

We know there are lots of volunteer projects out there, how are ours different?

By being based on the ground in the heart of Southern Africa, we are able to ensure first-hand that all of our volunteer programmes have a long term and sustainable structure with measurable and achievable goals. We can also check that they continue to operate to benefit the animals, people and communities they were put in place to help, rather than simply offering a tourist experience. Our volunteers make a difference to only long term, sustainable programmes.

If you want to make a real difference, meet inspirational people and contribute to real projects, our programmes are for you!

 

Why Volunteer in Africa?

Africa is vibrant, colourful, noisy and exciting! Volunteering in Africa will open your eyes, your mind and your heart and you will have the experience of a lifetime. Our aim is to conserve and protect the wild areas of Africa and use volunteer tourism to share these areas with guests and help ensure their future protection. Our volunteers play a crucial role in donations of time, skills, energy and enthusiasm and without volunteers, many projects would struggle to continue their work.
