Founded by traveling gypsies with a passion for wildlife and giving a helping hand, Voluntouring Africa is the brainchild of Lowveld Adventures (PTY) Ltd and its partner NPO companies, wanting to join together to not only make a difference in the projects that are close to us, but also to share the adventure and the sites of South Africa.
After working extensively with Marloth Wildlife Fund we realised that majority of our touring clients wanted to be involved, and wanted to leave their mark on their host country. So combining our life long passion, as well as extensive experience in traveling, we decided to share the wonder of road tripping through South Africa while putting something back into the communities we visit.
Where we work
Based in the wilds of South Africa our base is in Marloth Park which is on the bank of the Crocodile River and is a wildlife sanctuary. It boasts four of the “Big Five” with the exception of elephant. It is one of the locations that we work in, but we visit three provinces namely Gauteng, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal.
Our mission / vision
Wildlife needs attention 27/7 365 all over the world and our mission is to help with the financial as well as hands on needs of our partner NGOs, while exploring and finding hidden places while on the road. Our vision for the future is to have a significant impact on the wildlife and rehabilitation centres and conservation areas in South Africa. The environment, our wildlife and the future of all our wild places is paramount to us.
Our goals
Our goals at Volunteering Africa are simple;
1. To try and make sure that all three our partner NGOs have meaningful financial backup and hands on help throughout the year.
2. To say goodbye to our volunteers, who have become friends, knowing that they saw and experienced what the real South Africa is all about, while putting something back.

We are looking for anyone who has a sense of adventure! a thirst for knowledge and a kind heart.
