About Namibia

Namibia is a country located on the southwestern coast of Africa. It is known for its epic landscapes. The Namib Desert stretches along the Atlantic coastline with its majestic dunes. It established several parks and reserves to celebrate and protect its rich plant and animal life.

Volunteer Opportunities in Namibia

Volunteer opportunities in Namibia are within the realm of animal protection and community work. You can work as a volunteer on a humanitarian project in a school located in a game reserve, not far from Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. Or you can volunteer in an animal reserve program. The shelter near Windhoek offers a second chance to many injured, orphaned and endangered animals.
