Desert Elephants Project, Namibia

Programme Overview

Track desert elephants and take part in community development work in the beautiful Damaraland region of the Namib Desert where the famous desert-adapted elephants roam free. Volunteer now and you can ensure the survival of these amazing creatures by helping the Damara farmers sustain a safe and mutually beneficial relationship with them.

This project is a perfect opportunity for people to really return to basic levels of living, learn simple camp-craft and survival skills and get back in touch with nature; whilst becoming directly involved in spearhead conservation work.

Dates and Durations:

You can join for 2 weeks up to 12 weeks all year round and we have places all throughout 2013 and 2014 available.

Individuals, groups, families and students doing research all welcome.

Cost for food, transportation and accommodation during the project, building materials, fuel, vehicle cost, as well as backup and placement support starts at £790.
