    Om programmet

    Big 5 Conservation Efforts That Matter

    Join our Big 5 Conservation Project and discover the captivating wilderness of South Africa’s famous Greater Kruger area. No experience in conservation? No problem! Whether you’re an animal lover or a wildlife enthusiast, this enriching experience will unveil the many wonders of the African bush and enhance your understanding of wildlife conservation efforts. This Big 5 conservation project will offer you the chance to work alongside our skilled and qualified team, offering you the chance to learn, grow & fall in love with African wildlife.

    Contribute to meaningful wildlife conservation initiatives by tracking, monitoring and collecting data on animals during daily game drives. You’ll also learn about managing and restoring ecosystems, and the threat that poaching poses on wildlife.


    Physical Conservation

    Engage in physical conservation work, where you’ll have the opportunity to get your hands dirty and make a tangible difference. Your conservation volunteer work will transform the landscape back into a healthy habitat where wildlife can flourish. As you remove snares, eradicate invasive plant species, and contribute to habitat restoration, you’ll witness the positive impact your efforts have on the environment and the creatures that call it home.


    Data Collection

    Across the surrounding reserves, our team have deployed a number of camera traps that feed us vital information on elusive and/or nocturnal species. Volunteers play a crucial role in weekly servicing of the camera traps – changing SD cards & batteries and checking settings. On return to base, volunteers assist with tagging camera trap images and identifying individual animals against wildlife ID kits.

    Overnatting

    Your home away from home in the Greater Kruger area is a secure, lodge-style volunteer base with comfortable shared rooms and relaxed communal spaces in the bush.

    From 2026 you’ll stay in the heart of the African wilderness in Mtimkulu Private Reserve. The accommodation will be a mix of tented rooms and shared dorms. This base camp is set up as a research camp on the reserve, and will provide a true and authentic bush experience. Your accommodation will feature spacious dorm and tented rooms with sweeping views of the reserve. There will be shared bathrooms, with toilets and showers. Amenities include a welcoming outdoor fire pit for braais (BBQs), relaxed social areas, and a lively common dining area.


    You’ll be based in the untamed majesty of the Greater Kruger area, a sprawling tapestry of over 20 private reserves seamlessly woven together. Bordering the iconic Kruger National Park, this vast landscape pulsates with life, serving as a sanctuary for an extraordinary array of threatened species – from the majestic lion to the powerful elephant, the humble giraffe to the endangered African wild dog.
