Conservation Travel Africa provides meaningful and ethical volunteer travel experiences throughout Southern Africa. We are focused on supporting grass roots organisations, where volunteers and visitors have a tangible impact. Our volunteer projects in Africa 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 in Africa is about connections. Connecting with people of different cultures; connecting with nature and wildlife; re-connecting with yourself, and being open up to new and remarkable experiences. Our projects allow people to volunteer in Africa with a purpose. Where you will engage in new physical and cultural experiences, take time for personal growth and reflection, and contribute time and energy to long-term volunteer projects dedicated to Africa’s vulnerable wildlife and communities.
