About LEO Africa - LEO Africa Volunteer Programme

Limpopo Eco Operations Africa, aka LEO Africa, is based in a spectacular privately-owned game reserve in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The Selati Game Reserve is on the Selati River, which flows into the Kruger National Park by way of several neighbouring game reserves.

Ecotourism in South Africa is on a steady rise and many landowners are rehabilitating farmland into wildlife and nature reserves. Creating and sustaining an ecosystem, especially one with so many habitats, requires an enormous amount of knowledge and painstaking research.

And that's where we come in: the LEO Africa project began in 2004 as a management research programme to assist the owners of these private game reserves to re-establish their land as prime wilderness areas.

Our experienced reserve managers and conservationists have years of field experience. The work we do links ecology with the practical running of a nature reserve and this provides a rewarding educational wildlife volunteer programme.
