Voluntary work in Namibia is a unique and rewarding opportunity to get close to some of Africa’s most beautiful wildlife. Above all, of course, voluntary work in Namibia is all about providing care and support to vulnerable or endangered animals. Voluntary work in Namibia is a great way to get to know local people on a far more intimate and meaningful level – working alongside local people on a daily basis you gain a real insight in to the local culture and way of life.
Namibia voluntary work
We have two superb Namibia career break programmes, both of which enable volunteers to care for endangered animals. If you would like your Namibia voluntary work to involve caring for a diverse range of animals an ideal option is to volunteer at ‘Noah’s Ark’, an inspirational animal conservation sanctuary and rehabilitation centre which cares for numerous different species.
Volunteering on this programme gives you an exciting and rare opportunity to work with and care for the animals of Africa on a daily basis. You will look after numerous species, ranging from baboons and meerkats to lions and cheetahs, helping to feed, care and clean them, while also maintaining the centre’s enclosures and grounds.
This distinctive programme offers the opportunity to help the cheetah by clearing the sickle bush, allowing them to exist and hunt in their natural habitat. You will also track and monitor both cheetahs and leopards as well as enjoy being in close proximity to these incredible creatures.
This conservation project in the Namib desert is about getting out into the field and really making a difference at the forefront of elephant conservation. This is your chance to get involved in vital elephant conservation in Namibia.
This family run farm dedicates its time to establishing the most suitable and secure home possible for neglected or orphaned wild animals in the African Savannah. Volunteers are trained to care for the injured or orphaned animals.
