TFree Shipping on Orders over $50his wildlife volunteer vacation will take you to the beautiful Khomas Hochland (highlands) in central Namibia to conduct a survey of African cats (leopard, cheetah, caracal, etc.) and their interrelationship with humans and prey animals (such as giraffe, eland, kudu, zebras, etc.).

As part of a small international team you will learn some bush skills and then follow collared cats on foot and in the expedition Land Rovers to record information about the animal’s behavior, working alongside real scientists.

Volunteers also conduct game counts and participate in community education and capacity-building work, which may vary from accompanying groups of school children out on game drives/hikes in the bush associated with conservation talks, to collecting demographic data.

You may also assist with cat capturing and collaring.

This landmark volunteer vacation is an effort to mitigate human-wildlife conflict and create a sustainable future for all, and with the ultimate aim of creating a protected area in the Khomas Hochland.
