Working on safari...
Choose to spend 3 months working in some of Africa’s most exclusive tented camps, organizing safaris, escorting guests on horse back across the savannah and helping to run a lodge in some of the world’s most breathtaking and challenging environments.
Think you’ve got what it takes? If you’ve ever dreamt of waking up to a dawn chorus of Hippopotamus and sleeping under a breathtaking blanket of stars, now is the time to make dreams a reality. Our unique placements offer you a privileged insight into the Africa, which tourists don’t get to see.
What will you be doing?
As you can imagine the work involved varies from camp to camp – our job is to make sure your skills and expectations fit with the right camp and indeed the right characters that run these stunning places in often challenging environments!
In most cases you will be part of the safari teams getting the show on the road, doing everything from setting up bush breakfasts and organizing the client’s day-to-day itinerary to masterminding ad campaigns, and problem solving around broken generators!
Very often the camps are very involved with local communities who they support in one way or another and so opportunities are available to help on local community and conservation projects where your help is greatly needed and effective.
You can be assured that every day will be different and the best skills you can take with you are self motivation, flexibility and a sense of humor, whatever your previous experience you will make a valued contribution to the lives of staff, guests and local people.
Where?
Solo leap is available throughout Eastern Africa, so have a look at our website to see the different countries and different camps each with its unique landscapes, cultures and tribes. Enjoy…
NB The camps can only take one or two volunteers at a time – places get booked up pretty quickly so apply early to get your first choice!
Our Leapers go out as volunteers but they will receive monthly pocket money, which varies from camp to camp.
