Conservation With Purpose
Join a wildlife conservation volunteer program that puts you at the heart of Africa’s most important ecosystems. Outreach Overseas partners with ethical conservation organisations across South Africa, Namibia, and Madagascar to give volunteers the opportunity to protect endangered species, restore natural habitats, and support long-term biodiversity research.
Whether you’re tracking big cats, monitoring rhinos, researching forest biodiversity, or assisting with anti-poaching initiatives, our programs offer a meaningful way to volunteer in wildlife protection while gaining field experience and contributing to critical conservation efforts.
For anyone passionate about wild spaces, endangered species, and ethical conservation, there is no better way to volunteer abroad in wildlife research than through a program designed with local experts and built for long-term impact.

Why Wildlife Conservation Matters
Across Africa, ecosystems are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, poaching, human–wildlife conflict, and declining species populations. Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the research, monitoring, and conservation actions needed to protect these environments for future generations.
Your contribution helps strengthen frontline conservation work where it’s needed most.
