Our research work relies on the support and financial assistance of passionate individuals.
The Selati Research Volunteer Programme invites high-school and tertiary students, GAP year individuals, and researchers to join us on a quest to understand how to protect and manage this closed ecosystem. We also, keep one space open for a digital marketing/fundraising/multi-media volunteer, who can assist us with our social media and assist with educating the public about our fantastic projects. By getting involved in our ongoing research projects and monitoring programmes, you will enjoy an uplifting, conservation-based wildlife experience, including:
The Programme also caters for those who have their own personal projects and need to do practical field work as part of their post-graduate course requirements. If you are interested in seeing if we can accommodate your needs please get in touch at [email protected].
We plan the programmes around two, three and four-week “cycles”, however, we can accommodate long-term stay volunteers too. We do, however, recommend a stay of at least two weeks to get the best benefit from the experience.
Programme dates are reflected in green on our live booking system below.
For stays longer than 4 weeks we advise you to email us for our special rates: [email protected]
The programme is based on small groups of individuals. Participants are accommodated in a comfortable rustic tented camp.
The camp accommodates ten individuals in 2 twin bedded tents. The sleeping arrangements consist of two people sharing a room. There is a single-supplement charge for volunteers not wanting to share accommodation.
Women and men do not share rooms unless booked as a couple.
The rooms are serviced and all bedding and linen are included. A once a week laundry service is also included.
The project caters for three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dinner is prepared for you, whilst breakfast and lunch are on a help-yourself basis.
Snacks and extra’s are not included but can be purchased during the weekly shopping excursion.
We can cater for specific diets, but this can only be done by prior arrangement and may result in an additional cost.
