Make it yours
Every experience is customised to be just right for you.
Every African Conservation Experience is unique. Whether it’s a wildlife sanctuary in the bushveld, a research initiative in an untamed wilderness, or a combined adventure that takes you to multiple different locations, every project has its own story, team, and way of making a difference. This is where you’ll find them all in one place.
If you just want to see all of our volunteer projects in Africa, then we have a dedicated page for this.
Our experience field notes bring you closer to the specifics: the exact experience you’ll have, the work you’ll do, the things you’ll learn, and the conservation mission you’ll be supporting.
From identifying dolphin species to bottle-feeding orphaned rhinos or assisting vets in the field, these aren’t generic trips - they’re powerful collaborations with world-class conservation professionals, tailored to provide you with real insight and lasting impact.
Exploring by experience can help you compare similar opportunities, understand what’s involved and see how you’ll make a difference. You'll be able to compare practical details like location, duration and focus area - whether that’s helping to protect endangered species, gaining practical skills in the field, or simply connecting with nature in a deeper way.
You can use this section to explore your options, refine your thinking, or discover a new area of conservation travel you hadn’t considered before.
