Action for the Wild currently offers voluntary work experience placements at UmPhafa Reserve. This program is particularly open to individuals seeking to gain experience before pursuing a career in conservation, although we welcome anybody with a genuine love of nature and the environment. 

This will be so much more than the typical safari experience. As an assistant to UmPhafa’s management, you will have a fun, interesting, exciting and, overall, valuable time by playing a crucial role in the operation of the reserve. One of your main tasks is to help collect data necessary to make key management decisions. This, in itself, is much more fulfilling than simply visiting Africa as a tourist. Volunteers will have the satisfaction of being close to the animals and knowing that their contribution has a direct influence on the well-being of the fauna at UmPhafa Reserve.
