Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary Volunteers

Help to care for the welfare of animals that have been orphaned or injured. The centre aims to operate as a soft release area for animals that have been rehabilitated successfully from the Noah’s Ark project, 300 kilometres East of Windhoek.

The sanctuary is based just 38km East of Windhoek in Namibia and 15km from the International airport on a 3200ha site. In spite of being only a 35 minute drive from Windhoek, there is a definite sense of remoteness to the project location. The area is a natural savannah paradise with riverine vegetation, lush grass plains and magnificent mountain views.

Your Typical Itinerary

Each day on the project, you will experience a structured schedule. You will generally work in three groups, rotating your activities daily. However, please note that this is intended as a guideline only and may vary to meet the needs of the animals and programme. Your itinerary may be as follows:

07:00: Breakfast - help yourself to cereals, tea and toast

08:00: Morning meeting with the volunteer co-ordinator to plan the day ahead

08:15: Morning activity; one of: enclosure patrol, food preparation, cleaning enclosures and feeding of the animals, assisting with the school or walking or grooming the caracals

10:15: Tea break

10:30: Morning activity 2; one of: border patrol, baby baboon walk, Meerkat walk, sitting with Lucky the Cheetah or large carnivore feeding and cheetah time (if possible)

13:00: Lunch and free time

15:30: Afternoon activity 2; either farm work or a big baboon walk

15:00: Afternoon activity (varies)

17:30: Dinner and free time

19:00: Baboon baby sitting duties

Volunteers should be prepared for the daily schedule to change at short notice to meet the needs of the project.
