The Balule Conservation Project  is a genuine conservation management project based in the wilderness of Balule Nature reserve in Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. Our project offers a unique way to see and experience the African bush and its wildlife whilst also contributing to conservation efforts. We appreciate the assistance of all volunteers, students and interns who book to assist or pay to conduct their research because our project relies heavily on volunteer funding to run.

Volunteering:

During your stay on the project you will get involved in a variety of conservation activities. There are daily surveys to monitor the various animal populations within the reserve. Other than that you may be asked to help with vegetation surveys (depending on the time of year); water-point surveys; alien vegetation removal and the occasional trip into town to re-supply.Most of your days are likely to be spent out and about giving you the opportunity to see animals of interest. You may also have the chance to attend calls from trackers and rangers, from the lodges, when the focal species of the project, such as mega-herbivores, predators and wildebeest are reported.

You can't wait to get away from it all? Volunteering on our project will offer a fantastic experience in the South African Wilderness and you'll be helping conservation too!
