Conservation in Botswana with Projects Abroad

by Projects Abroad

Projects Abroad runs a nature reserve in the wilderness of the Southern African Bushveld called Kwa Tuli. We are right on the frontier of South Africa and Botswana. Elephants visit the water holes by our remote but comfortable lodge next to the Limpopo River. From hippos to leopards, and kudu to ostriches, this is the heart of wild Africa.

This project involves a collaboration of different reserves and environmental groups in South Africa and Botswana working together. With the help of our volunteers we aim to conserve wildlife and bush ecosystems and to share knowledge about the diversity of the area. All of this takes place in an incredible location with skilled and experienced guidance from local staff.

Program Highlights

Explore the heart of wild Africa and experience living in a wild landscape teeming with animals.

Work and live at the Wild at Tuli, where you can see elephants, baobab trees, and inventory of fauna and flora.

Study the elephant population dynamics.

Gain valuable, hands-on experience in wildlife conservation and research.

Take part in workshops designed to teach you about different aspects of the project and the environment.

Botswana Arrival Procedures

We have all the information you need to know for your trip, from helping with visa queries to walking you through a placement induction on your first day in Botswana. Our hassle-free approach means you can concentrate on what really matters, making a difference at your placement.

Arrival airport and pickup in Botswana

If you're volunteering at our Conservation Project in Botswana, your arrival airport will be Polokwane Airport (PTG) in the rural heartland of the Limpopo River basin.

You should aim to arrive on a Monday if possible. Once you arrive, you'll be met by a Projects Abroad representative. They’ll be holding a Projects Abroad sign, so they’re easily visible.  

From the airport, you’ll take a stunning three-hour drive to our base camp at the nature reserve.

Booking your flights to Botswana

Searching for flights online is easier than ever, but it can still be a time-consuming, overwhelming, and frustrating process. If you need support, our staff have in-depth knowledge of all our destinations. We’ll let you know which airport you’ll be flying to and recommend the best way to get there.

We can advise you on booking the best return flights, ensuring you have the safest, most convenient, and most cost-effective flight options, no matter how complex your travel plans are. Find out more about the flight booking process .

Visas requirements for your volunteer project or internship in Botswana

One of the perks of volunteering with us is the visa guidance we give you. We have a dedicated visa team who have up-to-date information on visa requirements for all of our destinations around the world. You can get in touch with us if you have any visa queries, big or small, and we will talk you through the process. Once you apply, you’ll also get a link to your own MyProjectsAbroad webpage, which will include all the necessary visa information.

Your induction and orientation in Botswana

The Tuli Block is located on the Botswana side of the Limpopo river border with South Africa. For your induction, you'll settle in, meet the other volunteers, and hear all about the safety measures we have in place at the reserve. You’ll get a general tour of the camp and learn the ins and outs of the weekly shopping trip outside of the reserve.

Once a week, you can join a staff member on a trip into town to restock the fridge and buy anything you've been craving since the last trip. Then it's back to the camp for another home-cooked meal over the traditional open braai (BBQ).

While on the reserve, your cell phone signal will be limited and no internet is available, an aspect that many of our volunteers relish!

Your first day at your volunteer or internship placement in Botswana

We don’t expect you to know all about African bushveld conservation when you arrive. In fact, we’ve set aside your first day to get you up to speed with what’s going on at the reserve. On your first day at your placement, you’ll meet the local staff and other volunteers. You’ll get to observe some of the work we do there and hear about your role.

The local staff will show you around and explain the basics before you get down to actually doing the work yourself on your second day. However, keep in mind you won’t ever be left to your own devices. Staff will be available to guide and support you throughout your trip.

Support, safety, and backup

Your safety and security is our prime concern. We have many procedures and systems to ensure you have the support you need to enjoy your trip with peace of mind. Our Projects Abroad staff are available 24 hours a day to help, and will be on-hand to make sure you settle in well at your accommodation and placement. If you encounter any problems, they will be available to help at any time.

Is wildlife conservation volunteering for teenagers in Botswana right for me?

If you’re looking to pursue a career in conservation, or just want to do more to help the environment, this project is perfect for you. You don’t need any previous experience. We’ll teach you everything you need to know. All you need is a passion for wildlife and the great outdoors.

In Tuli, you’ll work with conservationists who are passionate about the environment and have dedicated their lives to African wildlife. They’ll be there to guide and support you, and make sure you’re safe.

Our High School Special is specifically designed for teenagers, and we have a set itinerary in place to make the most out of your time.

This project strikes a great balance between research and hands-on work. You’ll learn from conservation experts and do plenty of practical work. You can use it on your CV, in applications, and talk about it in interviews.

What wildlife volunteering in Botswana will I do as a teenager?

As a volunteer, you provide extra manpower to preserve wildlife and ecosystems in the reserve. Here are some of the tasks you can expect to do during your placement:

Build waterholes and dams to create vital water access to wildlife

Survey and track birds, elephants, and other wildlife

Undertake anti-poaching patrols and remove snares from the reserve

Set up camera traps and study animal behaviour

Work with teenage volunteers from around the world

Your work will focus on the following areas:

Build dams and waterholes for wildlife

Water is a scarcity in Southern Africa. As a Conservation volunteer, you will help construct and repair waterholes, boreholes, and rainwater tanks. This will ensure that water is stored during the wet season and that there is lots of  water during the dry season. This is vital for wildlife to survive during times of drought.

Track animals during surveys and help gather research data

The Tuli region is home to large and diverse wildlife populations, which is one of the most exciting things about the area. It is important for us to keep track of population growth and movement. You'll help us do this by taking part in surveys. You'll also conduct research and collect data to help track animal movements and family units of the local wildlife.

Remove wires and snares and participate on anti-poaching patrols

Illegal poaching of bush meat is a major challenge to conservation in Botswana. As a volunteer, you will help reduce poaching efforts in the Tuli area. You will mainly do this by joining local staff members in removing snares around the reserve. By removing hundreds of these snares, we are able to save the lives of hundreds of animals.

Set up camera traps

As animals are very active by night, camera traps help us study their natural habitats, behaviours and movements. You will be involved in setting up these cameras around the reserve.

Camera traps have produced a couple of first sightings for us. A baby brown hyena, a honey badger, a leopard and an aardvark were seen for the first time on our cameras. This is incredibly exciting, as it tells us that our efforts are creating an environment where animals thrive and breed.

Work with volunteers from around the world

You’ll volunteer with teens from around the world. There will be plenty for you to learn from your new friends, like the customs and cultures in their home countries. And during your leisure time, you will all get to experience life in the African bush together.

Who are our project partners?

We partner with a reserve in Botswana.

The reserve is owned by Dr Helena Fitchat and Mrs Judi Gounaris, two passionate conservationists. They both share our spirit of adventure and passion for African wildlife and ecosystems.

Where in Botswana will I work?

The tuli block.

Located on the banks of the Limpopo River, you will find yourself in the very heart of the bush. With large populations of elephants, crocodiles, hyenas, and other species, Tuli is a truly wild place.

You’ll spend your evenings next to the campfire with other volunteers and staff members. All of the rooms of the camp are divided by age and gender, so you’ll have roomates the same age and gender as you.

We encourage you to fully immerse yourself in the experience. However, while the project is thoroughly risk assessed and supervised, please remember there are wild animals around. Therefore, our policy is that you must never leave the camp without a staff member with you.

Airport pickup, flights and visas

When you arrive at your respective airport, a member of Projects Abroad staff will be there to meet you. You can find more detailed information on arrival airports, orientation, and visas on our Botswana Arrival Procedures page .

What are the aims of the Wildlife Conservation Project for teenagers in Botswana?

The aim of this project is to preserve the ecological well being of the area and ensure the survival of precious wildlife species.

Tuli has seen a recent decrease in wildlife populations, largely due to growing human activity in the region. Increases in illegal hunting and poaching, as well as land degradation, have also contributed. By doing wildlife research, soil erosion control, construction, and anti-poaching drives, we are helping preserve what is left.

The ultimate goal of the project is to create a conservation area protected by law. We are working on this with other game reserves and national parks in the area.

Join us in Botswana and become part of our efforts to protect African wildlife. 

Management plans

We set out the aims and objectives of our projects in documents called Management Plans. We use them to properly plan the work you’ll do. They also help us measure and evaluate our achievements and impact each year.

Ultimately, our Management Plans help us make our projects better. This in turn means you get to be part of something that makes a real impact where it’s needed. Read more about our Management Plans .

Measuring our impact

Our projects work towards clear long-term goals, with specific annual objectives. Every volunteer and intern we send to these projects helps us work towards these goals, no matter how long they spend on our projects.

Every year we take a step back and look at how much progress we've made towards these goals. We put together a Global Impact Report, which documents our achievements. Find out more about the impact our global community of volunteers, interns and staff make, and read the latest report.

Food and accommodation

You'll stay at our base camp in the Tuli Block and share a tent with other Projects Abroad volunteers of the same gender. This is a great way to get to know your fellow volunteers and share the experience of living in the heart of the bushveld together. There are shared bathrooms with hot, running water. There is no electricity, but we have charging stations running on solar power so we have light at night.

Your tent will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe. Your programme fees include three meals a day.

Find out more about our accommodation .

Safety and staff support

Your safety and security is our prime concern. We have many procedures and systems to ensure you have all the extra support you need as a young person travelling abroad. Our Projects Abroad staff are there for you 24 hours a day during the week and over weekends to provide constant support and guidance. Our staff also make sure you feel comfortable and safe at your placement and accommodation. If you encounter any problems, they will be available to help at any time.

Find out more about safety and backup .

This placement is fully researched, safety audited, and risk assessed in accordance with the British Standard BS8848 for the Adventure Travel Sector.
