Volunteer Vacations in South Africa This is a chance for lion lovers to get up close to these magnificent predators and other African mammals. Your assistance in actively monitoring a lion pride is vital for the future development and success of this project and would make a fantastic addition to a gap year, sabbatical or annual holiday.
The reserve is based between the small towns of Gravelotte and Mica in the Limpopo Province, and covers over 30,000 hectares of African wilderness. The park has around 90 elephants, 50 rhinos, numerous leopards and plentiful game species.
This is an amazing opportunity to learn about conservation and predator management, while enjoying a truly wild area, excellent wildlife viewing and contributing to vital African wildlife conservation.
Why the project needs volunteers: The results of the research you'll be helping with and your direct involvement in the project will allow reserve managers to make well-informed decisions about how to manage the lions and the ungulate populations of the game reserve. Your project fee not only goes towards your food, accommodation, and full training but also is also crucial in funding and maintaining the research programme.
