Students will volunteer at the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary providing food preparation and feeding, cleaning, making of enrichment tools for captive wildlife, exercising the animals, and general husbandry. The students will gain an understanding of the special requirements for caring for multiple species of captive wildlife as well as the conservation efforts including anti-poaching activities. From skilled rangers, the students will acquire knowledge of navigation and tracking techniques that all play a vital part in the protection of rhinos worldwide.

There is also an opportunity to volunteer at the Clever Cubs School (located at the sanctuary) providing an educational activity for the children of the local bushman, as well as some of the children whose parents work at the sanctuary. This program is in partnership with The Great Projects organization. A variety of domestic and exotic animals are involved.
