This is a once in a lifetime chance to get behind the scenes and involved with the conservation work of a game reserve. Shamwari Game Reserve is a world renowned, 25,000 Big Five reserve.

There is also a weekly chance for volunteers to work at the Born Free Big Cat Sanctuary. As well as a chance for individuals to take the Ranger Field Guide Training Programme. This is available for those wanting to enter the field as professional guides.
