South African Voluntour

For those looking to explore the Garden Route on an action-packed itinerary, stopping at all the best highlights the area has to offer; you’ve found your match! Wander along the Garden Route - a piece of paradise on the southeastern coast of South Africa. Search for members of Africa's Big 5, bungy jump, walk along forest footpaths, canoe and interact with African wildlife, and experience a Cape Town community all in one exciting itinerary.

Part 1 - Your Garden Route experience begins as you drive along the longest wine route in the world, South Africa’s very own, Route 62. Enjoy the rugged scenery and winding roads as you make your way to Oudtshoorn to explore the fascinating underground maze of the Cango Caves.

Adventure awaits you over the next two days. Choose to join an elephant bush walk where you’ll get to meet three orphaned elephants. Hop in a canoe and explore the Wilderness National Park, keeping an eye out for the abundant birdlife. Face your fears as you hurtle off the world’s highest bridge bungy, or visit the mystical forests of the Tsitsikamma region. Enjoy a 4x4 safari with a game ranger as you set out to spot members of Africa’s Big Five, and connect with nature on a tranquil bush walk amongst the animals in a private game reserve. It’s all part if this 3-day adventure and it’s waiting for you…

Part 2 - Volunteer on a game reserve for a week and really make a difference by actively participating in the conservation of African wildlife within a fun, safe, stable and stunning environment.

Although this may sound similar to many other proudly South African volunteering projects, our dream for every person we come in contact with, is to have a lifestyle change towards thinking and living conservation. We want your time at the reserve to not only be the experience of a lifetime, but an experience that changes your life! Our aim is to empower ordinary people (like you!) to protect nature by creating a conservation lifestyle upon their return back home.

So what do we mean by a conservation lifestyle? A lasting change in heart, from selfish consumption towards preserving what has been entrusted to us.

The foundation is a starting point for you to become a conservationist because with your help there can be a better tomorrow. Our planet and specifically the wildlife that abound on it, is a special gift that we have the luxury of experiencing and enjoying. We want to share that experience with you and more importantly we want future generations to have the opportunity to have similar enriching experiences.

This can only be achieved through conscious consideration of our current actions and learning new ways to preserve and conserve our greatest gift.Our conservation program could not function without the hard work, dedication and time of our volunteers. These volunteers are officially known by the government as voluntourists. By joining us you are becoming part of a generous group of voluntourists. Funds from our volunteering programme are reinvested into conservation, enabling us to grow and become even more successful in achieving our vision.

Part 3 - A week in Cape Town to volunteer at a choice of projects from working in a township assisting teachers at a pre school, from organic farming to feed the disadvantage community, become a football coach with children or support for a local skate park of over 100 children.
