Conservation Travel Africa

We offer ethical volunteer experiences and life-changing adventures.

CTA offer only responsible projects, working with reputable conservation partners across Southern Africa. Conservation Travel Africa is committed to supporting grass roots, conservation organisations throughout Southern Africa. We enable volunteers to make a positive impact to the environment, wildlife and people, with the confidence that their contribution is being used correctly. We are proud of

our small, experienced travel team - all ex-volunteers and adventurous travellers, who have visited each and every one of the projects we offer. We have lived in, worked in and breathed Africa and have a passion for responsible conservation travel. We believe that positive volunteer contributions are an essential part of conservation goals. Our volunteers join programmes that are focused on meeting a need; they must firstly be beneficial to the area, the people and the wildlife and secondly to the volunteer. We focus on the meaningful contribution which volunteers bring and each of the projects we support can proudly demonstrate their positive impact on the environment. To have a positive impact, all the projects must be run long term which is why we work hard to build programmes which are sustainable. The projects our volunteers are involved with existed prior to volunteer travel and were not set up solely to entertain travellers. As the projects have grown and developed, volunteer input helps them to progress more quickly and become more effective.

🩺🦓 Vet interns in Malawi were called to a local wildlife reserve to assist with a zebra that had been caught in a snare. Once darted, the interns assisted the wildlife vet team to remove the snare and treat the wound.
Opportunities like this are what sets this internship apart- as well as learning new skills and techniques, interns are also able to put these skills into practice during critical operations.
There are a few places remaining for Summer 2025 - get in touch now to check availability!

🐾 When you monitor cheetah every day, these are the kind of sightings you can have 🤩🤗.
⚠️ Cheetah are a priority species on the Big 5 Animal Conservation Progam in South Africa and you will almost certainly see them most days on your monitoring drives or bush walks.
There are fewer than 1,500 wild cheetahs in South Africa which makes the ones at this reserve extremely important 💫

If you love cheetahs and other predators - you'll love this project! Comment 🦁 for more information!

We have a true passion for Africa and its preservation, and we recognise that positive volunteer contributions are an essential part of this goal. Our volunteers join programmes that are focused on meeting a need; they must firstly be beneficial to the area, the people and the wildlife, and secondly to the volunteer. We focus on the meaningful contribution which volunteers bring and each of the projects we support can proudly demonstrate their positive impact on the environment. To have a positive impact, all the projects must be run long term which is why we work hard to build programmes which are sustainable.
