    Over het programma

    Workshops & Skills Development:

    Delve into the fundamental principles of wildlife photography, unravelling the secrets and techniques that elevate your craft. Discover the art of mastering your camera settings and understanding the elements that make a captivating shot. Through hands-on exercises and guided assignments, you’ll hone your skills, capturing the essence of frames, colors, movement, portraits, and more. Learn more about macro photography and embark on a captivating journey into the unseen world, capturing the intricate details and captivating beauty of often-overlooked creatures – from the industrious dung beetle to the iridescent dragonfly.

    Conservation Initiatives:

    Once a week you will team up with the Wildlife Research team to embark on physical conservation initiatives such as invasive species removal, wire removal, litter pick-up and more. You will have an opportunity to photograph these activities, contributing to the awareness of our project via social media and newsletters. 

    Photographic Database:

    Join the research team to photograph key wildlife species – leopards, lions, African wild dogs, elephants and rhinos. Each of these species have unique attributes that identify them on an individual basis – from spot patterns, scars, ear notches and more, the collection of their images aids the constant development of our animal identification kits which contribute towards our conservation data. This data is more broadly shared with reserve management for larger scale efforts and conservation.

    Accomodatie

    Accommodation

    Your home away from home in the Greater Kruger area is a secure, lodge-style volunteer base offering comfortable shared rooms and relaxed communal spaces set in the bush.

    From 2026, you’ll be based in the heart of the African wilderness at Mtimkulu Private Reserve. Accommodation will include a mix of tented rooms and shared dormitories, designed as a research-style base camp that delivers a truly authentic bush experience.

    The camp features spacious dorm and tented rooms with sweeping views across the reserve. Bathrooms are shared and include toilets and showers. Communal amenities include a welcoming outdoor fire pit for braais (BBQs), relaxed social areas, and a lively shared dining space where volunteers can gather.

    Please note: Images shown are artist renderings. The camp is currently under construction.

    You’ll be immersed in the untamed beauty of the Greater Kruger area — a vast network of over 20 private reserves seamlessly connected and bordering the iconic Kruger National Park. This extraordinary landscape is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, and the endangered African wild dog.

     

    Eten & Drank

    Meals

    Meals are enjoyed together in the shared dining area, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere at camp. The communal setup allows volunteers to connect, unwind, and share experiences after days spent in the bush.
