Addo Elephant Park

Volunteers at Addo work very closely with local reserve management and are almost treated as full time staff, but with added exciting experiences and excursions. Addo provides true hands on experience when working with permanent park staff and volunteers benefit from a great deal of sharing of information with these conservationists.

This game reserve has plentiful wildlife and will definitely expose you to some of Africa's most majectic animals.

The Cheetah Centre

Rating

The Cheetah Centre is committed to the conservation of the African Cheetah and relies on public support for their education and public-awareness programmes. As a volunteer at the Cheetah Centre you’ll have the opportunity to get “up close and personal” with these beautiful animals on a daily basis. Your hard work will not only make a difference in the lives of the cheetahs but will also help raise awareness of these animals with local and international visitors to the Centre.
