Unlike many other volunteering places, the sanctuary manages to blend both inward and external conservation, from caring for injured cheetahs, to working with farmers to mitigate leopard conflict.

Highlights
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with African wildlife within a Wildlife Sanctuary, and to research carnivores in the southern Namib desert or painted African wild dogs, rhinos, lions and elephants in the TimBila wildlife area, or to help out the San Bushmen community providing medical care in a local clinic, or work alongside the Anti-Poaching Unit to protect Rhinos.
Location
Located only thirty minutes from the airport amongst camel thorn trees, riverbeds, and a stone canyon, the Wildlife Sanctuary is perfectly situated to start or finish your trip to Namibia. This is where the main volunteer activities take place. Neuras is 2 hours away near the Namib-Naukluft National Park and Kanaan a further 2 hours drive in the southern Namib desert.
Free Time
In your free time, you can explore the Namib Desert or visit the sand dunes in Sossusvlei, go sandboarding down the dunes or sleep out under a blanket of stars. Or you can spend time relaxing by the pool at the Wildlife Sanctuary or in the natural springs at Neuras.
