African Conservation Experience has been sending volunteers to Africa for almost a decade and is the original, most experienced organisation for conservation placements in southern Africa. They offer each and every applicant the benefits of personal experience and all volunteers receive individual consideration . All they ask in return is that you share their passion for wildlife and conservation.

They offer people the chance to work on game and nature reserves alongside conservationists, zoologists, wildlife vets and reserve managers. People join the projects  from all backgrounds and countries – students studying at university and looking for life experience, people looking for a career break, and even retirees who are looking for a break with a difference. Volunteer placements can be anything from two weeks right through to three months.





"I had always longed to experience something more than a normal safari," says Tasha Craft, a past volunteer. "With African Conservation Experience I achieved more than I could dream possible; I raised a baby cheetah, and our days were spent bottle-feeding, play stalking and learning to hunt. I assisted with veterinary work, poisoning cases, leopard-tracking and releasing two cheetahs. Not a day goes by where I don’t apply something I learned about myself and the delicate world around me."
