OUR INTERN AND VOLUNTEER IN BOTSWANA PROJECTS

Experience life in one of the few truly wild areas left on earth. A sparsely populated country in Southern Africa, Botswana is home to some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes and is famed for its spectacular wildlife.

Volunteer in Botswana

From the Okavango Delta to the Kalahari Desert, Botswana is strikingly varied, and its diverse ecosystems support an astonishing array of animal and bird life. After volunteering, add time to take a tour or do a fly-in safari of the Chobe National park, which is globally renowned for having the highest concentration of elephants on the planet! The Okavango Delta is an area of permanent marshlands and seasonally flooded plains, fed by the Okavango river that supports an astounding range of wildlife. Perhaps the best way to experience this UNESCO World Heritage site is by the dugout canoe.

As a volunteer in Botswana, you’ll be situated in Maun. Learn about regional history by visiting the Nhabe Museum or spending time in the fresh air at the Motsana centre. With its cafes, shops and open air stage, it’s a great place to relax, sample local food such as bogobe (porridge) or seswaa, a salted stewed beef.

Volunteer in Botswana and make a positive change to the lives of people who are desperately in need while seeing some of the most impressive plains in the world.
