Wildlife Projects Featured

This is your opportunity to get involved in game reserve management working alongside top conservationists and wildlife, including Africa’s Big 5 species.

The Volunteer Project is designed to offer volunteers the opportunity to be involved in all conservation related projects on the reserve. During your stay, you may see yourselves as “assistant conservation managers” as all of the work done by you will improve the quality of the reserve and the data collected by you will be utilized by the Game reserve’s management in making important conservation decisions for the reserve. As a volunteer you therefore derive a good deal of satisfaction from your work, as your efforts directly contributes to improving the reserve.

While getting involved in every aspect of hands-on conservation management on the reserve, you will learn many conservation skills and the experience of a lifetime. To top it all off, we have a brilliant community outreach programme. Our volunteers assist at a local rural farm school by providing food prepared by our chefs. Come and make a real difference and have fun doing so!

The Game Reserve is situated in Port Elizabeth on the N2 towards Grahamstown.  The reserve is on 6000 hectares of land which is filled with a variety of game, bird life and wild animals, and the BIG 5!
It doesnt stop there, various excursions are available for volunteers.  The main ones would be to the city of Port Elizabeth, where there is a variety of entertainment and options to choose from. Other excursions would vary from the lovely seaside resort of Jeffrey’s Bay to Knysna and Grahamstown depending on the time of year and activities taking place in the area. So go on... have a true African experience!

Please note when booking your flights, transfers from Port Elizabeth to the Game Reserve take place on Monday's at 4pm, please ensure your arrival in Port Elizabeth is at 1pm for the latest.
