Wildlife Conservation Volunteer

We provide volunteers with the rare and exciting opportunity to work closely with and actively participate in the conservation of African wildlife. The sanctuary currently provides a safe refuge for orphaned and injured wildlife including a number of lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals, baboons and meerkats as well as many farmyard animals such as sheep, goat, chickens and geese.

 

Our Wildlife Conservation Volunteers provide an important resource in caring for and feeding the animals on a daily basis, as well as helping to maintain and develop the sanctuary. During your time at our sanctuary you will feed the animals, take them on walks, go on game counts, and help with any other projects that may come up at the sanctuary.

 

You may also have the unique opportunity to spend some time at one of N/a’an ku se’s three release sites and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Namibia´s South. You will also get involved first hand with all aspects of our research programme including data collection and processing, and carnivore tracking out in the field. All our release sites are set in the beautiful South of Namibia and you will experience magnificent vistas and a diverse array of unique landscapes as you track the cats across their local habitats which include red sand dunes, open glass plains, riverines and mountain ranges.

Activities vary depending on the number of the volunteers and the needs of the animals and project at any given time, so please be prepared to be flexible - be ready to take on any tasks  and to get dirty in the process!

 

If you would like to only spend time at our release sites and not the sanctuary, this is also possible.
