Big Cats

Big cats are majestic and intelligent animals. Some live in groups, like the mighty lion, whereas others are solitary species, such as the regal tiger. One thing they all have in common though is that they need our help.

Over the years, big cat populations have continuously declined for a number of reasons ranging from habitat loss to poaching. As apex predators, they play a vital role in helping to keep the ecosystem in balance. The Great Projects offer you the chance to witness these fascinating and furious felines on our various big cat conservation programs in a range of stunning locations, from Namibia to South Africa - all you have to do is take your pick!

Big cats have become recognised and adored through childhood stories such as The Lion King, The Jungle Book, and various nature documentaries from the likes of David Attenborough and the BBC. Volunteer with big cats and you will help to provide these animals with a sustainable future for generations to come.

Volunteering with big cats involves a range of activities, from safari drives to help with game counts or behaviour monitoring, right through to caring for them right out on the reserves and protected areas they live in. Depending on where you go, you may even help to feed them!

Our big cat volunteer programs are truly rewarding, and you will walk away knowing you have actively contributed to big cat conservation.

So volunteer with big cats today!
