Volunteer Programs in Madagascar

The magical Island of Madagascar is one of the most exotic Africa volunteer destinations – home to some of the world’s most spectacular and least explored wildlife and ecosystems. Journey with us to northern Madagascar a mysterious land unlike anywhere else on earth. Places on this ancient, exotic island have vegetation and wildlife so strange that at times you’d even think that you were on another planet!

Here you can find almost all of the world’s 63 kinds of lemurs, dozens of species of chameleon including the world’s smallest and largest, and strikingly beautiful wild cats called fossas. The landscape is full of stange and unusual plants including bulbous baobab trees, exotic orchids and cactus-like vegetation, interspersed with pockets of lush riverine tropical forests and all combining to a produce a dramatic wilderness landscape of steep cliffs and volcanic massifs.

On a Madagascar wildlife conservation project you’ll discover the huge variety of Madagascar’s exotic species as you trek through remote regions of this hugely exciting island. Working alongside other dedicated volunteers, you’ll monitor the distribution and abundance of species, assessing their use of the wilderness habitats and ecosystem and evaluating the impact of human populations on the Wildlife.
