Monitoring predators 🦁 At our KZN Camp, volunt Monitoring predators 🦁

At our KZN Camp, volunteers have the opportunity to learn and get involved with tracking and collecting data on priority species.  Working closely with conservation teams on the ground, volunteers gain insight into the behind-the-scenes activities that make protected areas work.

And … being lucky enough to observe predators in their natural environment is always a highlight! 😍✨

Brrrr…winter game drives! 🙃 Early mornings m Brrrr…winter game drives! 🙃

Early mornings mean bundling up in Southern Africa’s winter air!  These volunteers wrap themselves in cosy layers, which are slowly peeled away as the sun presents itself and the warm rays are welcomed! 🌞💫

These young elephants rolled in the mud, chased each other and kept coming back for more! Getting dirty is all part of the fun! 😉

Nature therapy! 🌿 It is so wonderful to hike i Nature therapy! 🌿

It is so wonderful to hike in nature with wild vistas as far as the eye can see!

Sometimes the most significant impact of a nature experience is being able to breathe, slow down and reconnect away from the busyness of everyday life. 🏕

Community connection 💚 A throwback to a fantas Community connection 💚

A throwback to a fantastic Y4C group that got stuck-in and eagerly participated in activities with a rural community living adjacent to a nature reserve. All it took was a boom-box and a dancing local to get spirits soaring! 😊🕺🏿

Add-on Adventure 🛶 How about ending your bush Add-on Adventure 🛶

How about ending your bush adventure with a two night river excursion? This is an exciting add-on where you can hike from our KZN bush camp into the valley and raft the Tugela River!  Not a bad way to end your conservation volunteer experience. 😄

Adventures that matter 💚 Y4C experiences are a Adventures that matter 💚

Y4C experiences are an opportunity for South African youth to be exposed to the beauty — and challenges — present in our own ‘backyards’. Not only is it an awakening of all the treasures that this continent has to offer - but perhaps, also a realisation of our role in protecting it. 🌍

Receiving feedback of any form, helps us to learn and improve and keep making our experiences better.  But when we receive heartfelt positive comments from teachers or parents or students — nothing makes our hearts more full.  Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share! 🙏🏼

Learning in the field! 💦 High school students Learning in the field! 💦

High school students get their feet wet and embark on hands-on fieldwork, applying what they are learning in textbooks to real-world research.  Working with marine biologists, exploring the research question and collecting data help to make the research process more tangible — and more fun! 😉
