Daily duties might also include:

• Assist our experienced guides with Educational Tours as a “shadowing guide”
• Guiding tours once you have completed a mock tour with a staff member (applies to long-term volunteers only)
• Maintenance in all areas of the Sanctuary
• Assist with farming activities such as harvesting various fruit produce as well as working in our garden
• If the length of stay and opportunity allows, assist in the relocation or translocation of cheetahs within our Release and Reintroduction Program 

You will have every weekend off from volunteering and this is the perfect time to explore everything this beautiful country has to offer. You are more than welcome to simply relax around the accommodation but most volunteers will use this time to travel and see the country. We are happy to assist with tours/trips. 

Alternatively, if you are looking to head further afield, then you may be interested in one or more of the activities in the area. In and around the area of the cheetah sanctuary, there are restaurants, wine farms, etc where you can socialise.  

Thank you for being a cheetah conservation champion! Our aim is to educate you about conservation issues so that you continue to be a mindful global citizen after your program. 

Our mission is to build conscious travellers that love nature, our wildlife and the people as we share our passion for making a difference.
