Yes, working with wild animals is always dangerous, but thanks to our trained staff and safety protocols incidents are very rare.
It is important for any volunteer working with wild animals to understand the risks and maintain respect for all wildlife, as well as noting that many travel insurance providers do not cover working with dangerous animals.
All volunteers will undergo a comprehensive induction and orientation program to brief them on safety and prepare them for the work they’ll be doing.
It is crucial to listen to project staff at all times, and to obey camp rules! Common sense is essential and again, pay attention to the information provided and remember that Africa is a wild continent!
