Overview

Have you got a soft spot for animals?

If the answer is yes then South Africa is the country for you and this is the project! When an economy struggles the first charities to feel the pinch are those working with animals, so your efforts are much needed. This is a great society which provides food parcels, veterinary treatment and animal care education for those that could not otherwise afford it. It also works with children who have had extremely hard lives and aims to break the cycle of abuse by teaching them to care and be responsible for animals. You’ll get a great opportunity to visit local communities and visit animals there, while for those considering a future in veterinary care there is valuable chance to help the resident vet, who requires daily help.

Trip Highlights:

  • The amazing range of things to do - from surfing to hiking, partying to shopping - Cape Town has something for everyone!
  • Working with the rescued animals - we guarantee you'll want to take one home
