Travel Africa
Africa's welcoming people and outstanding wildlife means spending a gap year in Africa, or taking a career or study break, will be an unforgettable, rewarding and personal experience.
Seeing the ‘Big 5’ should be top of the list if you take a gap year in Africa, as should volunteering in Africa – so why not combine both! Several of our projects in South Africa give you the opportunity to come face-to-face with lions, hyenas and cheetahs! Volunteer work abroad makes your gap year even more rewarding and by opting for volunteer work in one of Africa’s captivating countries you’ll have the experience of a life-time whilst contributing to local communities, working with children or protecting its stunning array of wildlife.
You can help Africa by working with communities who need your time and enthusiasm. So what are you waiting for?
