Volunteer in a wildlife rescue farm

Program description

How to engage in sustainable tourism? At Kimberley's refuge farm, a sanctuary for many animals that can no longer return to the wild, it's the perfect project to participate in sustainable tourism! Volunteers will have the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of the animals and participate in various tasks, including cleaning, enclosure construction, feeding the animals, gardening, and more. The volunteer schedule is flexible and will need to adapt to the needs of the refuge (usually 5 days per week).

Objective: Rescuing animals from illegal trade, trophy hunting, domestic uses, and animals threatened by surrounding agricultural operations, while learning about sustainable tourism practices.

Schedule: Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (subject to change).

Le plus beau voyage de ma vie ! J'ai fait des rencontres incroyables, et tissé des liens, humainement parlant et avec les animaux. Entre les rondes en 4X4 dans l'enclos des lions, les braai (BBQ en Afrique du Sud) et les coucher de soleils, les beaux souvenirs ne se comptent même plus !

Ce voyage a été très riche en émotions et découvertes. J'ai rencontré une famille qui met le bien-être de ses animaux du refuge au premier plan et qui est aussi très ouverte et très accueillante.

Life on the project

Your accommodation

Volunteers will be accommodated in the volunteer house, located 20m away from the main house. The volunteer house has recently been renovated and is equipped with a kitchen, a shared bathroom, and shared bedrooms for 1 to 6 people. Bed sheets are provided, but volunteers need to bring their own towels. During their free time, volunteers can enjoy the swimming pool, but they are not allowed to have visitors unless authorized by the project leader.
