AFRICA VOLUNTEER ADVENTURES

The Big S Welgevonden Volunteer Project If you want the Big 5 and you’re passionate about Conservation & Research then this is the Volunteer project you have been looking for!

Welgevonden private reserve is 37,500 Hectares of vast, peaceful and incredibly beautiful scenery. This is a stunning destination filled with rich cultural legacy and immense natural beauty. Pack your camera and big lens!

You’ll experience the Big 5 (White & Black Rhino, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, African Leopard, and the African Lion) as well as many rare species such as the brown hyena, aardvark and aardwolf.

You’ll get the chance to be on your very own game drive daily just by simply travelling from one part of the reserve to another. No tourists!

You’ll likely bump into elephants, rhinos, giraffe, buffalo, impala and zebra as well as the lesser known mammals, birds and reptiles. You’ll always have a qualified ranger with you for safety but the cool thing about that is how much knowledge they can share with you about each animal you see.

The size of this place is incomprehensible Welgevonden is a huge reserve and spread out over 36,500 hectares but is only a 2.5 hour drive north of Johannesburg. That’s 365 square kilometres. Or - 3,650 Rugby fields. !! There is 565 kms of roads, 55 Lodges, 60 types of mammals, 43 types of reptiles, and of course the Big 5!

Basic translation implies “well found reserve” which is the ultimate description of this majestic piece of land that transforms at every opportunity. It offers breathtaking views of the African wilderness and offers memories that will last long after you have left.

The Bushman rock art is a humbling experience as well. This reserve is privately managed and provides the spirit of true untouched wilderness.

The reserve has never allowed legal hunting and limits the number of guests on the reserve at one time ensuring minimal human contact and the ultimate wilderness experience. The perfect balance of biodiversity, conservation, research and natural living is evident at here.

What will I get to do on the Big 5 Conservation & Research Project?

This project is very research focused and volunteers will be expected to assist in any projects that are happening when they arrive on property. All volunteers will be expected to report directly to the resident Biologist / Conservationist with their reports and observations. This is a very active project so volunteers have no need to get bored as they will be involved in the daily activities of the reserve and any exciting occurrences that may arise i.e. veld fire control, game capture, vet work etc. This project is introducing 3000 game animals like Impala and Zebra to the reserve over the next 3 years and you’ll be able to assist with this if it coincides with your stay.

Tasks and Duties: Be under instruction of the Biologist and Nature Conservationist on property Assist with the research projects that are ongoing at the reserve e.g. leopard research Watch trip cameras for nocturnal animal activity Collect physical samples and data analysis for the weekly reports Help with the maintenance of enclosures / bomas and upkeep of facilities Participate in the daily running’s of the reserve [animal capture, animal release, veld fire control, anti-poaching] Animal tracking and monitoring. Report any unusual findings to reserve management for observation Be the eyes and ears of the reserve and get actively involved in every aspect to guarantee you receive the African Bush Experience of a lifetime Get involved with any veterinarian activities on property
