Shamwari Conservation Experience

The Shamwari Conservation Experience (SCE) is a once in a lifetime chance to get behind-the-scenes work experience and be involved with the conservation efforts of the world-renowned Shamwari Private Game Reserve for volunteers, gap-year students, adult sabbatical and adventure seeking travelers.

Shamwari is the pioneer and leader in demonstrating how the conservation of wildlife, fauna and flora can be achieved through
Eco Tourism. Shamwari Private Game Reserve, best known as a luxury safari destination, is a fully operational 25 000 hectare free roaming Big Five game reserve.

As an SCE participant you will be exposed to various short and long-term conservation projects and assisting the award-winning Shamwari Wildlife and Conservation Department. The experience is thus a true reflection of the day-to-day operational requirements needed to manage the game reserve and its vast resources. It also includes environmental education and
social upliftment projects with largely impoverished local communities, which are an important part of our social responsibility drive to improve the lives of those living in and around the reserve.

Our passionate and dedicated team looks forward to hosting you and showcasing all that Shamwari Private Game Reserve and its abundant natural resources have to offer.
