Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteers

General Info

In the heart of a natural savannah, you’ll be surrounded by lush grass plains and stunning mountain views on a 25,000 hectare reserve, home to a range of wildlife including Zebra, Giraffe, Kudu, Springbok, Warthogs and Hartebeests!

As a volunteer you will help to provide a safe refuge for injured, orphaned or abandoned creatures such as Baboons, Wild Dogs, Cheetahs, Leopards, Meerkats, Caracals and Leopards as well as a number of domestic farm animals.

You will normally be working in a group of around 5 people, starting bright and early at 8:00am and finishing at 5:30pm, with plenty of breaks. Your daily activities will focus on feeding and caring for the sanctuary’s residents as well as helping with sanctuary maintenance and building new enclosures.

You will also be able to help out with taking the orphaned baby Baboons for walks so they can forage naturally and exercise and maybe even occasionally babysitting little ones too young to sleep in the enclosures from the comfort of your own room!
