The home of the Elephant Whisperer and An Elephant in My Kitchen, paradise to the most unique elephant family, two hand-raised orphaned rhinos, an abundance of antelope, giraffe, hyena, a hippo family, many other animals and a vast array of birds. Yet it is a paradise under threat.

Poachers have declared war onto the African wildlife, be it for the “pot” or to harm our rhino to murder them for their horns and ill-believe. Invasive plants and species need to be cleared as they threaten indigenous plants.  

At the Thula Thula Volunteer Academy you slip into the role of an Assistant Conservation Manager and assist our dedicated and passionate rangers with every role in African conservation and nature preservation. 

We welcome you to make the difference and give back to Africa! 

And yes… our Volunteers Camp probably offers one of the best views in Africa where you can share your experiences with fellow Volunteers, the locals who join the Academy and our magnificent rangers!
