Selati Research Tented Camp

The Selati Research Volunteer Programme invites high-school and tertiary students, GAP year individuals, and dedicated researchers to join us on a quest in understanding how to protect and manage this closed ecosystem. We also welcome digital marketing/fundraising/multi-media volunteers who can assist us with our social media and educate the public on our fantastic projects. Our research and conservation efforts rely on the support and financial assistance of passionate individuals.

Programme Dates
We plan each programme around two, three and four-week “cycles.” However, we can accommodate long-term stay volunteers too. We do recommend a stay of at least two weeks to get the best benefit from the experience. Programme dates are set each year and we advise you to contact us for more information.

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 extras are not included but can be purchased during the weekly shopping excursion. An example of daily meals:

Breakfast – and early morning wake-up (tea, coffee, biscuits, fresh fruit and cereal, with cooked breakfast on Sundays).

Late Brunch/Lunch (salads and sandwiches with various fillings).

Dinner (balanced, warm, plated meal, served with meat, vegetables and/or salad).

We can cater for specific diets, but this can only be done by prior arrangement and may result in an additional cost.
