About Us
Our journey began with a deep passion for wildlife conservation and a commitment to the well-being of the animals we care for. Wildlife is at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to ensure that every animal receives the best possible care while promoting the preservation of their natural habitats.
​
In 2019, we launched Livingstone Experience, a veterinary-focused program designed to provide comprehensive healthcare for animals on our farm and in surrounding reserves. The program not only ensures the health and safety of wildlife but also provides valuable hands-on experience for students who aspire to work in wildlife care and conservation. By sharing practical knowledge and real-world experience, we aim to inspire and develop the next generation of conservation leaders.
​
Building on the success of the Livingstone Experience, we introduced Volunteer in Afrika in 2024. This initiative welcomes volunteers from around the world to take part in wildlife monitoring on the farm and in nearby reserves. Volunteers assist with tracking animal health, observing behaviour, and supporting ongoing conservation efforts.
​
Together, Volunteer in Afrika and Livingstone Experience work side by side to ensure that wildlife is carefully monitored and kept in good health. Through these combined efforts, we aim to create a lasting and positive impact on both wildlife and the communities that live alongside them.
​
Our program is about more than caring for animals, it’s about making a difference. Volunteering provides a unique opportunity to contribute to both environmental conservation and community support. Whether assisting with conservation projects or engaging with local communities, volunteers play an important role in creating meaningful change.
​
At Volunteer in Afrika, we believe in the power of collective action. We connect responsible travellers with wildlife conservation and community initiatives, creating life-changing experiences that inspire a deeper connection with nature and a lifelong passion for giving back.
​
Volunteering with us means becoming part of something bigger. It offers the chance to experience daily life in Africa beyond what most travellers see, while contributing to conservation, community development, and animal health. Together with our volunteers, we strive to build a future where wildlife and communities can thrive side by side.

Our Mission
Our mission is to connect responsible travellers with meaningful community projects and wildlife conservation initiatives, creating life-changing journeys that make a genuine and lasting impact.
​
We aim to inspire every volunteer to leave their host country with a deeper passion for conservation and community support. By experiencing the realities of life, wildlife, and conservation work first hand, we hope our volunteers return home motivated to share their experiences and continue making a positive difference in the world.
