When you volunteer in Africa with us, you’ll create the memories and relationships that last a lifetime!
There are a number of reasons to get involved and help animals in Africa, such as protecting natural ecosystems and supporting local economies. Africa’s environmental ecosystems are under intense threat. As a result of human actions, almost half of Africa’s wildlife is at risk of extinction in the next century. Conservation volunteering is essential to protect Africa’s beautiful wildlife against all of these risks. Additionally, wildlife tourism increases job opportunities for locals and can ultimately make a difference in local communities’ economic well-being.
Ecosystems thrive when there is high biodiversity. Essentially, the more species of wildlife found in a given area, the healthier the whole ecosystem is. When you become a wildlife conservation volunteer, you will be integral to continued conservation efforts that ensure species can thrive! Even the smallest tasks done by a volunteer can have a massive impact on protecting wildlife populations and entire ecosystems.
When it comes to wildlife conservation volunteer opportunities, Africa is unbeatable. Home to some of the most stunning wildlife parks on the planet, you’ll find beauty in everything from the smallest bee to the largest giraffe; the diversity of species in these parks is genuinely extraordinary. We believe volunteering in Africa is one of the best ways to experience the stunning natural wonders the African continent has to offer, and working to protect wildlife is simply a no brainer.
