About Program
The Shamwari Conservation Experience provides you with the perfect opportunity to volunteer with some of Africa's most iconic species such as the 'Big 5'. Here you have the chance to witness incredible wildlife, from elephants, lions and leopards, to rhino, wild dogs and buffalo, right in the midst of their natural habitat. The staff at the project have worked tirelessly to reform what was once derelict land into the flourishing reserve that is now a safe haven for all manner of vulnerable species that need your help.
You will aid conservation efforts here by monitoring animals using telemetry, conducting game counts, helping to maintain the reserve as a breeding centre, and you will even lend a hand at the world-renowned Born Free Foundation! Additionally, you will help to educate the community about the importance of preserving biodiversity.
Volunteer to join the fight for wildlife conservation with this inspirational, award-winning project and make a lasting impact.
