valuable long-term conservation

If you think you'd enjoy being out in the African Bush, but also want the chance to work with local communities then this could be for you. You will be carrying out valuable conservation work to ensure the long-term protection of wildlife in Swaziland. You will learn all about the African Bush and it's wildlife and will have the chance to work closely alongside giraffes, impala, rhino, elephants, hippos and lion. You will also complete a 'Game Ranger' training course, which you receive certification for. This project also works closely with local communities, from building classrooms for orphaned children to designing environmental education centres to teach children about the importance of conserving the wildlife around them.
