This exceptional experience provides volunteers with the unique opportunity of teaching children to protect the environment and to care for rescued wild animals. You will inspire a generation of local children to become passionate about wildlife conservation. 

Please note that the animals are unfortunately kept in captivity only because they are not able to return to the wild. 

Volunteering with us isn’t just about working. You’ll also learn about the local customs and beliefs, language, and traditional food. Our staff will teach you about the secrets of the Sepedi culture while cooking delicious food or dancing around a bonfire! Plus, you’ll have the chance to explore more of South Africa through half-day and full-day trips.

This volunteer program is an incredible learning experience for participants of all ages and backgrounds. It runs from mid-January to mid-December every year, with start and end dates on Saturdays. You can stay with us from 1 to 12 weeks, depending on your availability.
