Responsible volunteering in Namibia

Volunteer in Namibia – climb the highest sand dunes in the world or descend to the bottom of Africa’s deepest canyon. Explore the world’s driest desert and take time to appreciate the silence. Join one of our carefully selected wildlife volunteer projects in Namibia, or take part in a self-drive or off-the-beaten-track adventure!

Volunteers in Namibia have an experience like no other. It’s a country of breathtaking beauty and wild extremes, the perfect destination to combine conservation or community volunteering with a journey of exploration and discovery.

Volunteer projects in Namibia

Support the responsible conservation of Namibia’s large carnivores. Help mitigate the human-wildlife conflict in one of Namibia’s remote desert locations. Participate in the research, tracking, and monitoring of free-ranging leopard, cheetah, and hyena in a spectacular environment, and contribute to the long-term management of two of Namibia’s most successful wildlife estates. A hands-off conservation adventure!

Volunteer in Namibia, and participate in delivering solutions to the human-elephant conflict in remote villages. Monitor populations of the rare desert-adapted elephant, and work in rural communities to reduce and repair elephant damage. This is a hands-on and physical project where you will join community building projects to provide alternative water sources for elephants or repair elephant damage.

Support local staff in all aspects of daily animal care at this busy sanctuary in Namibia. Volunteers are responsible for daily food preparation and animal feeding, released animal monitoring and game counts. You will also work on rehabilitation strategies and enrichment activities for long term residents and those that cannot be released. 

Namibia is a magical volunteer destination for families – spectacular, unique and safe. Explore the remote Damaraland region, track the rare desert-adapted elephant and work on building projects in rural communities. Camp under the vast Namibian skies, witness incredible night skies and experience dramatic desert landscapes.
