The project
South Africa’s Greater Kruger is home to some of the world’s most iconic (and threatened) wildlife. But with so many animals moving through such a vast landscape, it’s inevitable that some wildlife ends up injured and in need of assistance! For over 30 years, this rehabilitation centre has provided specialist care and sanctuary to injured, poisoned, and orphaned wildlife in the surrounding area. As a volunteer, you’ll give every rescued animal the best chance of survival and contribute to this amazing legacy.
What to expect?
This project offers you the chance for hands-on wildlife care with a huge variety of Africa’s most iconic species, from cheetahs to wild dogs, vultures to bush babies, and many more! Living on site, you’ll wake up to the sounds of lions roaring, hyenas howling, and raptors whistling, offering you total immersion.
Your role as a volunteer is crucial in ensuring the successful rehabilitation of wildlife brought to the centre. With guidance from the experienced rehabilitation team, you’ll help with the feeding and cleaning, and organise mental enrichment activities, preparing animals for eventual release. For cases where release is impossible, you’ll contribute to their long-term care and high quality of life. As you work, you’ll get to learn all about the needs, behaviour, and importance of the incredible species in your care.
If joining an ethical wildlife project is important to you, you can rest assured. This renowned rehabilitation centre is a prime example of animal welfare in rehabilitation centres, and strictly follows the SATSA and ABTA animal welfare guidelines for working with wildlife. In addition to providing much-needed animal care, you’ll be supporting a centre that provides educational talks to promote animal welfare within the local and international community!
Volunteer with confidence. You’ll receive:
- Access to 24/7 support from our in-country team
- All of your in-country transport, accommodation, and food
- A personal consultation with our conservation team to answer any questions
L’organisation de volontariat se présente
We’ve also supported those that are simply searching for a meaningful wildlife experience instead of the usual safari holiday. We do this by offering a variety of opportunities including being able to volunteer at wildlife care and rehabilitation centres to aid orphaned and injured animals; assist with wildlife conservation management in order to monitor priority species and contribute to vital research; and being able to live the life of an African wildlife vet while meeting the requirements for Extra Mural Studies (EMS) and Animal Husbandry Extra Mural Studies (AHEMS).
Together, we can create a brighter future for Africa’s wildlife.
