Volunteering in South Africa

South Africa is a large and remarkably stunning country that is ideal for anyone wanting to volunteer abroad who loves the great outdoors. In South Africa you can dive with great white sharks; surf spectacular breaks; mountain bike through the hills of Lesothos Highlands; trek to the top of Table Mountain to see stunning views over Cape Town; go on safari in the Kruger National Park to see wildlife that includes zebras, lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and hyena; or be thrilled paragliding, bungee jumping or white-water rafting. Whatever you choose to do volunteering in South Africa, you are guaranteed to be wowed by awesome scenery, breathtaking flora and fauna, and vibrant culture.

The rainbow nation is a melting pot of languages, architecture styles, art and music, in which the rural and urban, contemporary and traditional, sit side by side. From spotting a hippo bathe in the bushveld to enjoying some world-famous wine in one of South Africas exciting, bustling cities; volunteering in South Africa will be an experience to remember.
