Wildlife conservation in South Africa
South Africa's wildlife will put a smile on your face as wide as the savannah. The country is a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to find exciting jobs abroad with animals. The big five may get the headlines but the supporting cast including giraffe and hippo are hardly small, as you’ll see on our fantastic wildlife training course.
The choice for those who want to do wildlife conservation in South Africa may be so big that the only solution is to combine tours and work with animals all over the country! Choose between work experience with horses (our favourite) where you can see the wonders of the African bush from the saddle, helping animals in a monkey sanctuary in the Kruger National Park and visiting South Africa’s most famous resident on a lion monitoring expedition in 30,000 hectares of stunning African wilderness. Cape Town is the vibrant setting for voluntary work in an animal rescue society, which will give you a behind the scenes look at a vital project working with the city’s abandoned animals. If you prefer the slithery to the cuddly, try work experience with reptiles or Dolphin conservation in the Indian Ocean.
