Description
The 1800ha Conservancy is dedicated to having a positive impact on the local environment as well as on the local communities that are located on its periphery. The conservancy is home to a pioneering Education Centre, a resident anti-poaching unit tasked with protecting wild fauna and flora and a thriving permaculture garden that's supplying both the lodge and local people with fresh produce. Add to this the ongoing conservation work being done to help protect and monitor our colony of 728 breeding pairs of endangered vultures, and you begin to understand our ethos of making a difference to both people and planet. It's this commitment that underpins everything we do.

Help
Dear Workawayers, our sustainability project based in the heart of the Lowveld on a pristine Private Nature reserve, is in need of various skills. We are all about Conservation, Education and we also have a Permaculture garden. We are looking for various skills in gardening, computer skills for basic use of word, Excel for our skills program, Language training in English and also some work in sports development with a reference to Mountain biking and helping set up the biking trails and maintain our pump track and various tracks on the property.
We are looking for people to join us for minimum 3 weeks and maximum 10 weeks.
In exchange for 25-30 hours a week work you will be given 3 meals a day from the kitchen or given meat with vegetables from our garden for you to cook yourself. Full accommodation in our Eco Village in a shared twin tent for males and females separately . We live in a semi remote area and the town Hoedspruit is 30km away so you must be used to be on the property for longer periods . There are no bars or clubs anywhere near us .
If this is something you might be interested in and community work in sustainability projects is something you have experience then lease get in touch.
Regards
Team
