Conservation Travel Africa

Conservation Travel Africa offers life-changing volunteer experiences throughout Southern Africa. We are dedicated to supporting ethical grassroots organisations where volunteers have a tangible and positive impact. Our diverse selection of conservation projects focus on the protection of endangered and priority species, as well as wildlife rehabilitation, research and marine conservation. We also offer safari experiences and adventures off the beaten track to bring you closer to Africa’s best-kept secrets.

Conservation Travel Africa is committed to supporting grass roots, conservation organisations throughout Southern Africa. We enable volunteers to make a positive impact to the environment, wildlife and people, with the confidence that their contribution is being used correctly We are proud of our small, experienced travel team - all ex-volunteers and adventurous travellers, who have visited each and every one of the projects we offer. We have lived in, worked in and breathed Africa and have a passion for responsible conservation travel.

We believe that positive volunteer contributions are an essential part of conservation goals. Our volunteers join programmes that are focused on meeting a need; they must firstly be beneficial to the area, the people and the wildlife and secondly to the volunteer. We focus on the meaningful contribution which volunteers bring and each of the projects we support can proudly demonstrate their positive impact on the environment. To have a positive impact, all the projects must be run long term which is why we work hard to build programmes which are sustainable.

The projects our volunteers are involved with existed prior to volunteer travel and were not set up solely to entertain travellers. As the projects have grown and developed, volunteer input helps them to progress more quickly and become more effective.
