    Introduction to the Volunteer Program

    Our program is vital because the Nubian giraffe is an endangered subspecies that faces increasing threats from habitat loss and climate change. At Giraffe Ambassadors, we tackle the critical social and environmental issue of biodiversity decline by bridging the gap between scientific research and community action. We solve these issues through "citizen science"—inviting volunteers to help us collect the high-quality data necessary for the management of the Soysambu Conservancy to make informed, science-based conservation decisions.

    What the Program is About & the Volunteer’s Role

    The program is a hands-on wildlife research and conservation initiative. As a volunteer, your primary role is that of a Citizen Scientist. You will be actively involved in:

    • Wildlife Monitoring: Tracking and identifying individual Nubian giraffes and African lions to monitor population health and movement.

    • Data Collection: Recording sightings and behaviors to assist in long-term ecological studies.

    • Habitat Restoration: Working in our tree nursery to manage and plant indigenous seedlings to restore vital wildlife corridors.

    • Rangeland Management: Assisting with tasks that maintain the pristine beauty and ecological integrity of the conservancy.

    Surroundings & Locations

    Volunteers work and live within the Soysambu Conservancy, located in the heart of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley near Lake Elmenteita. This 48,000-acre private conservancy is a RAMSAR site and a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its volcanic landscapes and diverse birdlife. You will live in a dedicated volunteer house or camp designed to be a "home-away-from-home," providing a safe, communal atmosphere surrounded by the very wildlife you are helping to protect.
