Volunteer at one of the most exciting destinations in Africa! The Greater Kruger National Park is a protected landscape that hosts a mega population of over 2000 lions and the largest and most important population of rhinos in Africa. Conserving Africa’s carnivores and mega-herbivores requires a lot of space, and the Kruger has joined with national parks in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and several private reserves to form the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area—the third largest protected area in Africa, managed by the Peace Parks Foundation. You will directly help support large and diverse ecosystem conservation. There’s also a lot of diversity in your activities! In the morning, you may assist an expert team in ecological monitoring and tracking animals on foot. And, when the sun g...
Program Highlights
Contribute to species diversity in the Greater Kruger National Park, one of the very few places in Africa where elephant numbers are increasing and home to a mega population of over 2,000 lions!
Be on the front line of conservation – track rhinos on foot through the African bush, spot lions and hyenas on a night drive, and visit an animal rehabilitation center.
Help protect wildlife from poachers, including some of the most important populations of vulnerable and endangered species found in the Greater Kruger, and collect information for their protection.
Be part of meaningful African conservation and work with local experts to learn the challenges and opportunities within the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTCA).
Stay at a base camp in a private part of the third largest protected wildlife area of Africa, undisturbed by safari vehicles or tourists, surrounded by iconic animals up close.

Travelling with ACE was the smoothest travel experience I’ve ever had.
by: Sofia Koziol - United StatesProgram: Wildlife Conservation in the Greater Kruger National ParkTravelling with African Conservation Experience (ACE) was an amazing opportunity where I got to experience lots of new and different things every day! We went on game drives to see amazing wildlife in its natural habitat and we got involved in a variety of reserve maintenance activities, like helping to clear roads from trees that elephants might have knocked over! I found that observing the animals in their natural habitat is the best way to learn about them and their behaviour. Being able to d...
If you're considering volunteering at Viklea Kruger, it's a fantastic project to be a part of.
by: Arno Te Veldhuis - NetherlandsProgram: Wildlife Conservation in the Greater Kruger National ParkACE has been incredible from the start, from booking to travelling between projects. The phone call before booking is really important as it allows the team to figure out which projects are the perfect fit for you, and they explain what you will be doing for each project. You feel supported every step of the way. I was particularly impressed with our guided tour through Johannesburg airport. Like any new airport, it's a little worrying trying to navigate through it. However, with ACE, you are pi...
A powerful life experience and brilliant guides, I have learnt so much
by: Jari Zuiderwijk - NetherlandsProgram: Wildlife Conservation in the Greater Kruger National ParkThe choice to join The Vikela Kruger Experience was an easy one. ACE’s website provided a clear overview of the available projects, and I knew I wanted something adventurous. After my first conversation with a member of the ACE team, who guided me through the options, I was recommended some that would suit my interests. They were spot on, and it was the perfect fit for me. It gave me that adventurous feel with bushwalks and a chance to be out and about in the wild. My journey has been full of...
