*NEW* Care for Africa's animals in a wildlife sanctuary

Get hands-on with animals and work alongside expert conservationists in a real African nature sanctuary.

One moment, you might find yourself bottle-feeding a young antelope. The next, you could be waist-deep in water teaching an orphaned hippo how to take a mud bath. In an African wildlife sanctuary, life is as varied and surprising as the animals you'll be looking after.

 

Work alongside expert conservationists

We partner with some of Africa's top nature sanctuaries. As well as being home to amazing wildlife, the people working here are pretty incredible too. Many are world-renowned experts in their fields. 

Living and working on site, you'll make a real difference to the animals' wellbeing and get a unique perspective from the people who know them best.

 

Make a real difference

Caring for animals can be extremely challenging - both physically and emotionally. And while the animals may not be able to thank you, there's really no need. Seeing a creature you've looked after grow in strength and confidence is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone can have.

If you’ve always dreamed of working hands-on with wild animals, feel passionate about saving African wildlife, and want to learn from leading conservationists, this is the experience for you.
