Mounted Anti Poaching Units Professional Development Course

Are you looking to work on hands on conservation projects while learning new skillsets? During this course, volunteers will work alongside one of our Mounted Anti Poaching Units, aiding in the daily care and training of our horses. Volunteers will learn the “ropes” on how to ride, and ride out into reserves and wildlife habitat to do fence-line patrols, wildlife camera trap surveys, and other conservation activities.

This 7 – 10 day program has the opportunity to expand the duration of time and program details with the addition of wildlife veterinary procedures and community cased conservation projects in the local community.

This course includes accommodation, wifi, food, pickup/dropoff from the local airport (Port Elizabeth), a certificate of course completion, volunteer hours sign off, and mounted anti poaching unit daily activities. Wildlife veterinary procedures and community based projects may be extra based on how many attendees join the program.
