organisations throughout the world.

the work of volunteers working with wildlife has helped
to secure the future of many precious habitats and species,

can continue to function.

conservation efforts on a malaria-free Big 5 nature
reserve in South Africa's glorious Eastern Cape. Your
tasks will be numerous and you will play a vital role
in the project. As you assist with game monitoring,

beaches in the country.

to save our precious mother Earth. You will get involved
with all aspects of conservation and help to educate
locals as to the importance of nature conservation.

arms and your free time will be jam packed with adventure,
beach trips, surfing, hiking and horse-riding.
