Volunteering with open minded people and learning about wildlife conservation in Namibia!
I volunteered for 2 weeks at the Namibia wildlife sanctuary and reserve. From the very start I had great communication with the mighty roar team keeping me up to date with what was needed and answering all my queries quickly.

My time volunteering started when I was greeted swiftly at the airport on arrival, I was able to meet other volunteers in the transport which really helped with settling in and making friends.
During the programme the activities ranged day to day from helping with reserve maintenance to cuddling the baby baboons, no day was the same. My favourite activities were doing research on the reserve as it allowed us to learn about all the different tracks and we also helped by putting new cameras up to track cheetahs.
The highlight of my trip was the horseback riding. Being able to get up close to the giraffes and zebras was an experience I will never forget.
Throughout my stay I stayed in a shared 3 person tent with an attached toilet and shower only a five minute walk from the communal area. It provided me with a nice way to meet new friends.
There was over 40 plus volunteers during my stay with a range of ages and people all over the world, some were solo travellers, families, friends. It’s an amazing way to meet open minded people that want to help make a difference.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time volunteering, with no two days being the same! If you are looking to volunteer, then choose The Mighty Roar!
