Everything Elephant Project - Work with Elephants in Africa

General Info

Volunteers contribute to all aspects of elephant conservation - from the creation of sustainable community projects directly linked to elephant tourism to the hands-on maintenance of the parks and reserves.
Everything Elephant volunteers will be taught literally everything from how an elephant uses its trunk to the complex history that has influenced elephant numbers in Africa (and more specifically Addo Elephant National Park). You will have the opportunity to run workshops on elephant conservation in local schools, as well as study elephants in an untouched wild environment.
