Your ''Taste of Volunteering'' Project

There are many inspiring projects to be involved in:

Take part in monitoring the movement of elephants in the conservancy

Help reduce the causes of conflict by repairing broken water points, pipes, dams etc.

Assist in the teaching of English at one of two primary schools

Improve the conservancy campsite area, by erecting a fence to keep livestock out, developing hiking trails and developing a solid waste management system.

Trip Summary

From Windhoek drive toward the stunning Namib Desert Region and the charming coastal town of Swakopmund. Then on to the magnificent Damaraland Region, which boasts fascinating geological formations, archaeological sites and a unique variety of endemic fauna and flora.

Grootberg Lodge is your next stop, and the base for your volunteering. The rewards and great memories from this experience will live with you forever. Meet both farmers and conservationists and begin to understand the conflict between these beautiful creatures and the people trying to survive in this arid country. Then head to Epacha Game Lodge and Spa. After exploring Epacha Game Reserve, you have two incredible days spotting game in the world renowned Etosha Game Reserve. You finish with a long drive back to Windhoek, where your trip ends – with time to spare for some last minute shopping!
