We are driven by two specific aims;
- To give volunteers the opportunity to experience conservation work in Southern Africa.
- To provide financial support and information exchange for conservation projects in Southern Africa.
African Conservation Experience has excellent links with some of the foremost game and nature reserves in Southern Africa. Our South African background means that we know the reserves and the work they do. Our local facilitators know the local tribes and communities well. We also understand the challenges and demands that conservation volunteers face. All ACE staff share a passion for conservation and have first hand knowledge of all the reserves we work with.
Much of our effort goes into matching volunteer with reserve to ensure that the experience is, as far as possible, right for you. Generally speaking, there are up to eight volunteers in a team at one time but you'll have plenty of individual attention, guidance and feedback. This is vital when you are living and working in a totally new and different environment and it helps you make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Our Mission Statement
African Conservation Experience establishes, maintains and supports conservation projects in Southern Africa. Projects are selected on the basis of real conservation value, the genuine wildlife experience that they are able to provide to enthusiastic volunteers and their contribution to the local environment and community.
