Program Highlights
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals:
This program is ideal for
Volunteers who care about wildlife and are always looking for ways to improve their natural habitation and ecosystems. You should have a strong work ethic and willingness to learn as you will be depended upon to assist doctors with various animal care duties. As your tasks will vary based on various factors, you should be open to helping out in any kind of activity that is prioritised while you’re there.
The StayAfrica Wildlife program is based at a Big 5 Game reserve just outside the city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The main objective and focus of this reserve is the conservation and preservation of indigenous animal and plant life.
While South Africa, and the African continent as a whole, enjoys an abundance of magnificent wild animal and plant species, it also faces ever-increasing challenges in maintaining these high numbers. Never before has the impact of poaching and illegal trading, both of animal and plant species, been felt so greatly – many species are at near-extinction levels – but in the same breath, never before has the awareness and fight against these factors, been so great! Animal and plant reserves all across South Africa have, for many years, been implementing and running projects and programs, with the aim of minimizing this threat, all with the hope of one day totally eradicating the problem as a whole!
Volunteers on this program fly directly into Port Elizabeth airport and are transferred to the reserve upon arrival. Accommodation in large, shared dorm-style rooms (separate male and female dorms), as well as 3 meals per day (prepared and served on the reserve), are included in the program.
