Last month we were fortunate enough to be sent a video through of volunteers at the 'Zululand Wildlife Conservation Project'. This is a fantastic project, where volunteers are able to work alongside professional wildlife monitors assisting them with tracking and observing wildlife - all against the backdrop of some of the region's most stunning scenery!
The project currently focuses its efforts on three priority species; the African wild dog, cheetah and critically endangered black rhinoceros, but also monitors the populations of elephant, buffalo, lion, spotted hyena, leopard and white rhino. With a chance to work in some of South Africa's most prestigious game reserves, including the 'Big Five' reserves of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and Mkhuze Game Reserve.
But enough of the talking - here is the video so you can see what the volunteers make of the experience!

Come face to face with one of the world’s most misunderstood predators whilst aiding great white shark conservation. As a volunteer, not only will you get the incredible opportunity to dive with sharks, but you will also assist the team in raising awareness of the great white as you work alongside tourists and local school children to provide them with knowledge of the local environment and the importance of living in harmony with South Africa’s marine life.
