Animal conservation in Namibia

Species Preservation Project in Namibia
The reserve is nestled in the Namibian bush, just 45 km from the capital, Windhoek. Our local NGO has become a world-renowned conservation organization. They provide shelter and a second chance for many injured, orphaned, or endangered animals.

The goal is, whenever possible, to release the animals back into the wild. Only animals that are too sick or have become too habituated remain in the sanctuary. Volunteer assistance is essential for us to continue caring for these animals.

The Role of Interns and Volunteers
Volunteers have the incredible opportunity to actively participate in the conservation, rehabilitation, care, and research of African wildlife. The sanctuary currently serves as a safe haven for orphaned, injured, or endangered animals, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals, warthogs, antelopes, baboons, as well as numerous birds, small African mammals, and farm animals. The help of volunteers, who are committed to wildlife protection, is crucial for us to care for the animals in recovery or permanent residence at the sanctuary, and contributes to maintaining and developing the sanctuary.

All tasks are organized in groups according to a rotation system that ensures everyone can participate in the various experiences available.

Among the daily activities, you may:

Prepare food and feed the animals
Clean the enclosures
Improve the living conditions of the animals
Care for newborns
Perform physical work such as building new facilities
Conduct research (including monitoring free-roaming carnivores, analyzing camera traps, and GPS data).
