    Sobre o programa

    Focused on conservation, sustainable development and wildlife research.


    You'll play a key role in a diverse assortment of wildlife and conservation focused projects including:

    Wildlife research and monitoring
    You'll track and monitor wildlife using radio collar antenna. Lions, Cheetah, Elephant and Buffalo are all monitored as part of reintroduction projects, predator mortality, to understand animal behaviour as part of ongoing research or even for emergency veterinary interventions!

    Emergency vet work and callouts
    From rhinos fighting with each other needing emergency veterinary care to capturing reserve cheetah for relocation. You'll take part in all of it. We can't foresee the future exactly and which animals will need help but we can foresee you'll get up close with iconic African animals!

    Camera trap surveys
    Camera traps are valuable tool for any ecologist or animal behaviourist. You'll learn how to select sites for camera trap placement base on your understanding of the animals behaviour deploying and collecting the equipment routinely. These surveys are as part of long term research project on the reserve looking at animals like the endangered black rhino or leopard... that is if the reserve elephants don't remove the camera traps first!

    Vegetation surveys
    What the most important part of animal ecosystem? Plants! Without healthy and biodiverse plants for herbivores to eat, the ecosystem would collapse. Although these might not be the most exciting, you'll quickly learn and understand this secret side of ecological management and help ensure the ecosystems health.

    Predator mortality monitoring

    The reserve is home to predators including: Lions, Leopard, Hyena, Cheetah and more!

    Monitor their behaviour, what their eating, when and where. Record this data as part of ongoing research and ecological management. You'll also get up close and personal with these animals for some incredible sightings.

    Population surveys
    Ensuring animals are healthy and populations in good numbers is key to maintaining ecosystem health. With regular ecological surveys, you'll record valuable data on behaviour, health and breeding status with the reserve's populations. Help and learn as you play a key role in real ecological work.

    Rhino monitoring
    The reserve is a stronghold for white and black rhino. You'll conducted regular surveys and monitoring. Using ID kits, you'll get to know the rhino intimately as you record and ensure their health.

    Big game feeding

    During periods of drought, you'll assist with feeding key and protect animals on the reserve such as older rhino who need a bit of extra support or the recently introduced buffalo.
