Volunteer Work South Africa
Now that you've found LEO Africa, you can stop looking for gap year conservation work or volunteer work in South Africa. As a conservation volunteer, you will work in the Selati Game Reserve, which is 30,000ha of African wilderness in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.
More about Selati Game Reserve
The Volunteer Project
Your volunteer work takes you out into the wilderness as you track and record the movements, behaviour and ecological impact of a lion pride; you will also gather data about leopard, prey species, elephant and white rhino; and you will learn about conservation and wildlife management; and you can even get South African Field Guide Certification.

FGASA Game Ranger Certification
"Doing the 8 week FGASA course has made the volunteer experience even more rewarding and enriching. After doing the lectures and learning interesting theoretical knowledge, it was awesome to put that knowledge into practice when out on the drives, making great drives even better.......experience overload!!!!! Well worth it."
