Highlights

Would you like to get hands-on experience with injured and orphaned wild animals whilst educating local underprivileged children, perhaps giving both of them a brighter future? At this Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage, this is exactly what you can do!

Overview

This South African project near Kruger Park aims to educate local underprivileged children about their environment through a wildlife orphanage. Each week, a new group of 8-10 underprivileged children arrives on Monday. Your role as a volunteer includes teaching, fostering a passion for wildlife and conservation, and supplementing their basic English, math, life skills, and social issues education.

The orphaned animals form a foundation for inspiring environmental compassion, although direct interaction isn’t always possible. The children, aged 13-16, lack English proficiency and personal attention. Your involvement helps them flourish. No specific skills are needed; enthusiasm suffices.

This is a two-way learning experience where you contribute positively to the children, environment, and yourself. Enjoy the family atmosphere, excellent food, and making a meaningful impact on conservation, animal welfare, and local-international connections.
