Askari Rocks!

I spent 3 weeks volunteering at Askari and absolutely loved it! The project is all about restoring the reserve back to its original state before humans came along. You become an active member of the team, helping with everything from removing alien plants to monitoring and tracking the animals. The practicals such as 4X4 driving and rifle handling were amazing. I have learned so much, met some amazing people, and seen some incredible wildlife!

 

Unforgetable experience!

You would definitely come out with knowledge that you can share with others. Every day here is exciting because you would never know what might be around every corner. Volunteers would get themselves involved with all sorts of wilderness conservation; road clearing, injecting alien plant life, data capture around the reserve etc. Everyday is guaranteed to bring plenty of laughs and you will learn new and exciting experiences while working with professionals.
Unforgettable! Unmissable! Sensational!
