Description
In our elephant project you have the opportunity to experience first-hand how animal welfare works. After the natural elephant population was almost wiped out in many parts of the world, more and more people are committed to giving these fascinating creatures a safe home without restricting their freedom. So help our keepers and researchers in the field with their work and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscape of South Africa’s national parks. You will be involved in investigating, researching and documenting. You will observe herds and record their movements and preferred locations. Collecting samples for the lab is also part of your job, so you can look forward to spending time in the fresh air. Cleaning the enclosures of injured elephants is also a part of you tasks. One of the most important work of the project is communication and working with the local population. The Goal is to creating a better awareness of the need to protect elephants.

Ideal for all programs are at least three months in advance. In principle it is also possible for us to place short-term applicants (volunteering and language study travel) in South Africa.
South Africa is a safe country and the people are very friendly and warmhearted. In big cities, as in every big city in the world, there is petty crime. When travelling, the following things should be taken into account: always keep an eye on valuables, always keep your hand luggage on your lap in buses, and at night you should not travel by bus or withdraw money from ATMs. Up-to-date information on the situation can be found at the Embassy or Foreign Office.
Please note that in South Africa all electronic devices can only be used with an adapter. They are available in many electronics stores.
In principle, no language course is mandatory in advance. However, depending on the volunteering program, certain levels of the language of your destination country may be required to complete the project. We would be happy to advise you individually on your chosen project.
Depending on the program, we work with host families in the vicinity or there are volunteer houses at the project site.
