Life Changing Volunteer Programs in Africa

We are leaders in the volunteer travel industry and experts at creating lasting change.

Find the perfect community and conservation volunteering projects in Africa – we’ve built our very own projects, hand-in-hand with local communities, since 2004!

We believe in the spirit of Africa and that your experience is just as important as your impact. Volunteering is a two-way thing. It’s not just about the help and skills that you can bring; it’s also about what this amazing continent, its people, and its wildlife can give you in return. An experience filled with adventure, learning and breathtaking moments will make sure you go home, share the magic of Africa, and come back. 

Ultimately, we combine extraordinary experiences with genuine impacts!
