South Africa Big 5 Wildlife and Community

Get involved with this exciting wildlife conservation programme on a real Big 5 reserve in a stunning part of South Africa; near Port Elizabeth on the world famous Garden Route. As a South Africa wildlife volunteer, you'll be assisting in lots of different activities including game monitoring, game capture, as well as the possibility of caring for lions, elephants and even tigers in the sanctuary.*

South Africa Lion Cub Experience

Two weeks of living next to wild animals in your semi-luxury tent, you’ll work with lions, care for cubs, cheetahs, giraffes and hyenas, as well as loads of other species of wildlife, and then there’s the safari. When you work with lions, they may well get to recognise you, and you may have to explain to the giraffes and baby hyenas that at the end of the day, friends with claws or ridiculously long necks are not allowed through customs.

China Giant Panda Conservation

The Giant Panda is one of the most endangered animals in the world, and this conservation project is a fantastic opportunity to observe and help these amazing creatures.

Thailand Community and Elephant Volunteers

This programme offers you the opportunity to become part of the local Thai community and gain a true understanding of the Surin province and its’ people. The rewarding hands-on work at this elephant sanctuary in Thailand will involve helping maintain and plant crops to feed the local elephants, giving them a wash down at the river and offering support to the local communities. As a volunteer abroad in Thailand you’ll really get under the skin of local life and see Surin from the inside.

Costa Rica Sea Turtle Conservation

For the turtle species to continue to exist, much help is needed from both local communities and volunteers. One way in which you can help is to assist during the turtle-nesting season, and this turtle conservation project in Costa Rica provides you with the opportunity to do just that.

Costa Rica Sloth Rescue And Conservation

Dozens of adult sloths that have been cared for at the centre have been rehabilitated and returned to the forest canopy. However, many sloths at the centre are there for life, because they were too badly injured to be returned to the wild, or they were orphaned too early in life to know how to survive on their own. Volunteers are needed to help provide the sloths with the loving care they require in order to survive.

Malaysia Orang-Utan Experience

A brilliant opportunity to encounter and work with an increasingly rare and threatened great ape – there are probably no more than 20,000 left in the wild in Asia. 

South Africa Monkey Rehabilitation

You’ll be helping out with this amazing project that aims to give shelter and care to Vervet monkeys, which have been injured, orphaned or abused. So they can’t be released back into the wild. Instead, they’re rehabilitated and housed in natural enclosures with their fellow primate companions.
