South Africa Conservation Volunteer Projects

Volunteer in Africa: Work as a wildlife conservation volunteer on a Big Five game reserve in South Africa. Identify and track lions, elephants and rhinos as you support important environmental research in an endangered ecosystem. Be part of conservation volunteer work in Welgevonden Private Game Reserve, which provides a natural habitat for over 50 different mammals, including the Big Five. On this Africa volunteer project you support a team of dedicated conservation experts and scientists, as they monitor wildlife, collect data and build a management strategy for the reserve’s ecosystem.

This wildlife conservation role gives you the chance to get up close and personal rhinos, zebras and lions as you learn skills such as animal identification, tracking and behaviour. As a research assistant you could be collecting wildlife samples from traps, helping identify rhinos, radio-tracking lions, or even observing the behaviour of contracepted elephants!

This programme offers a truly unique South Africa volunteer experience ideal for anyone interested in environmental issues who is eager to learn more and make a difference through conservation volunteer work.
