Wildlife Research in South Africa Expedition
Duration: from 2 Weeks to 12 Weeks
Countries: South Africa
Monitor amazing wildlife in the South African bush
Get up close and personal with South Africa’s world-famous wildlife!
Working on a private game reserve, you will be volunteering with an international team to collect behavioural data on predators and large herbivores, including lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, rhino and elephant. You will be trained to use research equipment in order to locate predators in the reserve and you will get to grips with large animal identification. The training will all cover behavioural studies of wildlife, the importance of the local environment and the threats to it.
A typical day involves heading out into the reserve to track the wildlife and conduct research from the game vehicles. When you are not on a game drive you will be bringing all the data together back at the camp.
There may also be opportunities to participate in educational days with local children, which involve planning and teaching fun and interactive lessons on the importance of conservation.
