Volunteer with Animals in Africa

Famous for its Big 5, Africa is the quintessential destination for volunteering with animals! From research and surveying to up-close and personal encounters, our African projects allow volunteers to make a positive impact on various species throughout the continent. Volunteer at a wild cat sanctuary, work with orphaned chimpanzees, or engage in research efforts in Mozambique with whale sharks or in South Africa with great white sharks or lions! Whichever project you choose, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on Africa through its wildlife.
