A Unique Family Bonding Experience

Volunteering abroad with your family offers a unique opportunity to bond together in an experience that combines travel, volunteering, wildlife, natural environments and immersion in another culture. 

Our wildlife projects can be life-changing for all who experience them, but perhaps this is even more true for families volunteering with young ones who are just starting to form their views of the world.  We welcome the opportunity to help your children and teenagers experience other cultures and participate in meaningful volunteer work.

Enkosini Eco Experience is offering 1-12 week family programs at the Enkosini Wildlife Reserve and Makalali Game Reserve in South Africa.  Every family is different so please contact us to discuss which site would be best for your family.

A wildlife conservation program is the ultimate experience, giving families the opportunity to become involved in a wide variety of conservation activities; including anti-poaching, wildlife research, animal rehabilitation and reintroduction, hands on animal care, game tracking and capture, bush rehabilitation and everyday reserve maintenance and management. Family volunteers can choose to focus exclusively on one program, or alternatively experience both of our programs. All of our conservation projects have a strong element of continuity. The work of one volunteer is carried on by subsequent volunteers and, collectively, the Enkosini Eco Experience network makes a lasting impact on local communities, wildlife and wildlands of South Africa.

Enkosini Eco Experience allows your family to volunteer in a way that fills your heart, mind and spirit and maximizes your financial contribution to the projects you choose. Enkosini’s carefully selected projects are our colleagues, our mentors, our partners. A tight-knit South African community, we work together to achieve higher standards in conservation and to fight unethical wildlife activities through advocacy, media exposure and legislative change. Enkosini Eco Experience supports our partner wildlife projects with the necessary financial and volunteer assistance required to achieve our goals in conservation and community development.

The staff of Enkosini Eco Experience has traveled extensively through South Africa and Namibia - teaching, working, volunteering, studying, backpacking, and managing tour groups. Our knowledge and understanding of where to go, when to go, what to do and how to do it will prepare your family for traveling abroad to Southern Africa. You‘ll enjoy Enkosini’s complete support before, during and after your experience including emergency phone lines, in the field coordinators, full training where required, independent travel advice, and most importantly a team with the experience to answer all your questions. We are well-informed about local issues and culture, and help ensure that all the organizational details for your project are covered so that your family's experience is safe, enjoyable and fulfilling.

An Enkosini Eco Experience is an absolute must for any family that is enthusiastic about wildlife conservation and the environment. We offer the adventurous family the chance to take part in valuable and rewarding hands-on conservation work that provides a sustainable future for South Africa’s important ecosystems. And, of course, South Africa is a great place to travel with magnificent scenery, fabulous weather, great infrastructure, fascinating cultures and, last but not least, spectacular wildlife! 

Let the adventure begin…
