When can I join? Fortnightly on Mondays throughout the year for 2 to 12 week placements

Where will I be living? Volunteers live in a research base. It’s an amazing experience as you are surrounded by forest, grasslands or bush, where you can enjoy the daily animal and bird activity in and around your new home!  Accommodation and all  meals included.

Your free time is spent evenings relaxing at the camp, evenings sat by the fire under the stars listening to the sounds of the African bush!
