Your Typical Itinerary
This is how a typical day in the life of a volunteer in St. Lucia might take shape! Please note that your itineraries may differ from this, depending on your own experience and the number of other volunteers on the placement at the same time. The itinerary below is simply to give you an idea:
07:00* - Get up, eat breakfast, and start getting ready to depart for your project
08:30 - Head off to the photography area for that day and start taking photographs of wildlife. You may focus on finding different animals on different days
12:00 - Lunch break. You will be picked up, and taken to your volunteer house, where lunch will be waiting for you
14.00 - Start of your afternoon projects. You may be working on adding your new pictures to the database, or you may work on a conservation activity with local children
16.30* - End of the working day. You will be picked up from your project and taken home, where you will evaluate the day with fellow volunteers and project coordinators, and discuss the schedule for the next day
18.00 - Dinner at your volunteer house. After dinner, you may wish to go for a few drinks in one of the local bars
*Morning times and end of day times do vary depending on where you are visiting and best conditions for taking photographs, for instance if you are going on a day Game drive you will start much earlier e.g. 05:00 am
Please note: Volunteers are given Saturday and Sunday off each week.
School Holidays
Please note that the school holidays will affect this programme (with the conservation education) and thus we advise you to travel within the school term dates. We can advise you of these.
