How to Help

These types of projects are exciting, challenging and rewarding. You’ll find yourself learning in more ways you think, being inspired by the people you meet and learn more than you can imagine. Your routine will reflect that of the local staff and you will be exposed to the rigours of daily life, as well as its rewards that you may not have previously considered. You may even find your second home.

There will be no shortage of opportunities for you to travel and explore, you will be encouraged to look deeply into the big, bountiful world, and revel in the knowledge that there are still needed to be done to help.

By applying you will go beyond the usual sightseeing tours to experience unique, immersive moments that truly connect you to the people and places you visit. Each day you will set off on an ethical adventure trail and get stuck in with a range of exciting activities whilst being able to make a contribution to the conservation of the lion species.

Whether you fancy a gap year in Africa, or just want to do something to help lion conservation efforts there are lots of ways you can help. Please note ethical volunteer projects with lions are hands off so don’t expect to be cuddling with lions or lion cubs.
