Conservation Travel Africa provides meaningful and ethical travel experiences throughout Southern Africa. We are focused on supporting grass roots organisations, where volunteers and visitors have a tangible impact. Our volunteer projects include the conservation of endangered and priority species, wildlife rehabilitation, research and marine conservation.
We also offer ethical safaris and off-the-beaten-track adventures to some of Africa’s best-kept secrets!

What volunteering means to us
Volunteering is about connections. Connecting with people of all cultures and backgrounds; connecting with nature and wildlife; connecting with yourself, and opening yourself up to remarkable experiences. Our dream is to allow people to travel with a purpose; to engage in new physical and cultural experiences, take time for personal growth and reflection, and contribute their time, skills and energies to projects dedicated to Africa’s vulnerable wildlife and communities.
