The Selati Game Reserve, in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, is adjacent to the Kruger National Park and sandwiched between the escarpments of the Drakensberg Mountain Range. This saddle of beautiful scenery supports a diverse range of habitats and several species of grasslands wildlife. This diversity creates an incredibly complex ecosystem, the balancing of which is a critical factor in the success of the 33,000ha conservation area.

Volunteer research provides the shareholders of this non-commercial wildlife reserve with vital information about how the integral components of the ecosystem work. From the data you will be trained and involved in collecting, we can establish the impact of large mammals on the reserve. This information is particularly valuable for re-introduced mammals like lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant and rhino.

So while you, as a conservation volunteer, are learning about mega herbivores, predators, prey animals, ecosystems and research techniques; enjoying participatory safaris; and making lifelong friendships, you will also be contributing to sound conservation polices and responsible game reserve practices in South Africa. Now that beats your average safari hands down.
