Conservation Experiences
Working together with scientists and conservationists on the front line in Southern Africa, Animal Saviours organises a number of conservation experiences throughout the year.
Our programs come in several formats, the first option is a 7 day Rhino conservation experience and includes horn trimming of one or more Rhino to assist with anti-poaching efforts, and a large number of other conservation activities, talks, and visits.
The second is a 7 day experience that has a focus on getting up close, and personal with African wildlife, and is designed to support ecological research and conservation of species and habitat. The activities include walking with giraffe, rhino and other animals in the bush together with the conservation teams from Mankwe. There are also opportunities to take part in the training of Anti-Poaching Unit (APU) dogs, learning how they track poachers in different ways.
We now also offer a version of our Wildlife Conservation Experience focused on families with young adults. The goal is to encourage them to become hands-on in the field of wildlife conservation in a safe and supportive environment.
The donations you make to Animal Saviours to attend these events go directly to supporting our conservation efforts on the ground, across the UK and the wider world. And very importantly, they also contribute to the costs of running the anti-poaching teams and the very expensive process of Rhino horn trimmings at Mankwe Research Centre and help to protect this extremely endangered species.
No matter where your interest in conservation is focused, you will find something of interest in one of our programs.
Here are some testimonials from volunteers and patrons who have attended one of our experiences:
“I have come away from this experience now hoping I can continue with having more experiences of this type and having a purpose.”
“We learnt so much from the Mankwe team, but also because of the interesting conversations that were had within the group. I think the most important thing I have learnt is how intense Mankwe’s conservation efforts are, how deeply the emotions are behind it, and how we can all play a part in helping.”
“This experience just opened my mind to conservation, the highs the lows the reality, and the magic you don’t see.”
“Thank you for giving us such an incredible experience. Everyone made us feel so welcome and you can really see the passion that everyone has. They all have such a wealth of knowledge and are truly amazing people.”
“Thank you for taking the time to organise these trips , they are wonderful once in a life time things and I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to go again.”
“Before the trip, I knew Rhino’s were endangered due to poaching, but seeing the impact on a more personal level made it so much more real. The stories were hard to hear, but needed to be told. The experience was very thought provoking because I hadn’t considered the impacts the ban had on poaching.”
“Everything was perfect! An incredible experience with incredible people.”
If you are interested in learning more about real-world wildlife conservation in Africa, helping in research projects, and having the opportunity to be closely involved in a rhino horn trimming and other bush activities you are in the right place.
