Your African adventure begins with 2 nights in the world-famous township of Soweto, where you’ll immerse yourself in the local culture by exploring the community on foot or by bicycle. Enjoy traditional food, drinks, and music to get into the African spirit.
Next, you’ll experience the thrill of the African wilderness at a Big Five Game Reserve near Johannesburg, combining Early Child Development (ECD) work with wildlife conservation.
You’ll live as a game ranger, balancing wildlife expeditions with conservation work. This immersive experience in the African bush allows you to learn from expert guides, contribute to conservation efforts, and enjoy the tranquillity of the wilderness..
Family projects are suitable for children aged 4 and up. Our advisors will provide personalized recommendations based on your children’s ages and the type of mission. The Nursery school project is available for children aged 4 and up while the conservation project in the game reserve is available for children aged 10 and up. We can reduce the program duration by 1 week for families.
