This volunteer experience takes place within a breathtaking nature reserve in South Africa. The camp is nestled in the heart of the reserve, where you’ll engage with local children, educating them about wildlife and the environment, while also caring for animals in need.
Your tasks will involve teaching children and caring for animals. All lessons are interactive, with educational activities like playing games, swimming, and dancing to their favorite songs. For the animals, you’ll learn about different species and help keep them well-cared for and thriving by cleaning, feeding, and maintaining their environment.
Schedule Time: Monday to Friday – from 9am to 4:30pm.
Each rondavel is equipped with en-suite bathroom (except one chalet) allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the reserve while contributing to meaningful projects.
Accommodation is provided on-site, typically shared with 4 to 5 beds each. As this is a volunteer position, housing and meals are included at no extra cost.
Assistance throughout your experience:
– Volunteer position guaranted before departure (Registation fee is refunded if we do not find you a suitable position).
– Communication with the employer, if you have any issues with accommodation.
As previously stated, volunteer positions in South Africa do not come with a salary, but your accommodation and meals will be provided at no cost, resulting in very minimal to no expenses during your stay.
Plan for the following expenses:

– Some pocket money for you to spend at your convenience and for excursions during your days off.
Each day follows a program schedule set by the local team. As a volunteer, you’ll help with the daily maintenance of the organisation — that might include cleaning, organising spaces, feeding animals, or assisting with any tasks needed.
