    You will work from Monday until Friday, around 8 hours a day. A typical work day starts at 7:30 AM, with breakfast break at 8:30 and lunch time at 12:30. Your work day will end after 16:30 o'clock. You should be able to organise your hours and be flexible.

    Every Saturday, any volunteer can go to town to do shopping, enjoy a lunch in a restaurant or do an excursion, the latter can also be done on Sundays, as weekends are your days off. DAKTARI also proposes extra-mural trips as visiting the famous Kruger National Park, the Blyde River Canyon etc.

    Actividades em tempo livre

    There are a list of excursions that can be arranged by the Office staff. Please ask the volunteer coordinator, as the DAKTARI cars are not available for personal use.

    Actividades em tempo livre

    There are a list of excursions that can be arranged by the Office staff. Please ask the volunteer coordinator, as the DAKTARI cars are not available for personal use. You also have the option to organise your own free time activities on weekends; it's important, however, to keep in mind that DAKTARI is located inside a private game reserve and it is not easy to come and go as you please.

    Interesting things to do in Limpopo Province:

    • Visit Kruger Park. DAKTARI is situated between two gates, Phalaborwa and Orpen. Time to Kruger is about 90 minutes. The entrance fee at the time of writing is ± R220 per day.
    • Moholoholo is a rehabilitation centre roughly an hour from DAKTARI. You can see raptors, honey badgers, cheetahs, lions, wild dogs, a hippo and other animals. The entrance fee is ± R 100 per person. Tours start at 9.30 am and 3 pm that last for 2 1/2 hours. Tours are the only way to visit this facility. It’s not necessary to book ahead.
    • Khamai Reptile Park has snakes, iguana, crocodiles and terrapins.
    • The Blyde River Canyon is also nearby, nestled in the Drakensberg Mountains. There is a panorama route, which takes in the Three Rondavels (mountains that look like huts), waterfalls, great viewpoints and some picturesque villages.
    • White water rafting is available on the Blyde River or on the Olifants River.
    • Other more expensive activities include micro lighting; private game reserve walks/drives, hot air balloon trips and the elephant sanctuary in Hazyview, which is fantastic. 
    • Hoedspruit has shopping, an Internet café, and many bars and restaurants with pool tables.
    • Sundowners (drinks) at “The Leopard Rock” (an outcrop at DAKTARI with great views of the Lowveld and Drakensberg mountains) are another popular evening activity. If you want to go to the “rock”, discuss with Ian and/or Michèle. Obviously this activity takes place after the children have left!
