Background information

Wildlife conservation holidays

Conservation trips endeavour to provide wildlife enthusiasts with the opportunity to participate in sustainable conservation projects. Taking you behind the scenes of national parks and conservation organisations to work alongside renowned scientists, research teams and wardens, joining a conservation trip will provide you with unrivalled access to wildlife and experts, while making a direct contribution to the on-going studies of threatened species.

Enhancing species knowledge

Whether your fascination is for marine life or land mammals, conservation trips provide a greater scientific understanding of a range of species and the challenges they face. Lectures and workshops will provide previous research findings while your studies of migrations, threats, behaviour and identification, as well as the impact of the human-wildlife conflicts that exist with local communities, will help scientists gain a comprehensive future understanding of certain threatened species.

Hands-on involvement

Conservation trips are hands-on experiences providing skills and practical knowledge of working in-the-field and not for you to be a spectator. From collaring African elephants, tagging marine species and constructing community livestock kraals, to using GPS devices to track wildlife, setting camera traps, identifying footprints and observing behavioural patterns, you will be actively involved in the day-to-day work of wildlife conservation and research.

Conservation for everyone

Our wildlife conservation holidays bring like-minded nature enthusiasts together with scientists and experienced guides to collaborate on a range of projects and assist with research into wildlife populations and the issues they face. The trips are open to anybody regardless of age, ability or interest, and you don’t need to have any previous experience to join. It’s a great way to enjoy a destination’s wildlife whilst directly helping preserve habitats and you'll leave knowing you made a positive impact.
