Welcome to African Impact - Africa's top on-the-ground facilitator
of volunteer work Africa. We offer a variety of exciting and
rewarding volunteer programs suitable for anyone looking to make
a real difference during their gap year travel, career break, leisure travels
or working holiday abroad.
Our volunteer projects focus on making a measurable impact on the
people and wildlife in Africa, while ensuring that our volunteers
have a safe, enjoyable, adventurous, unforgettable and life-changing
experience in Africa. Explore, Inspire, Impact.
Africa is a continent of great diversity
and astounding natural beauty that is home to a number of
traditional and colourful cultures. An eclectic mix of fast-paced
cosmopolitan city life, agrarian and traditional village cultures,
provide a variety of options for volunteer work
in Africa.
Given all of this, we firmly believe that Africa needs to
be "experienced" and not just "seen" -
hence our motto: Explore, Inspire, Impact. We therefore invite
you to be more than a tourist - to be a traveler, a conservationist
and a humanitarian - we invite you to volunteer in Africa!

"It truly was a dream come true ...being there for the release of the wild dogs, finding myself surrounded by elephants so close I couldn't take a picture, watching lions do what they do best, sleep. I don't believe I've ever been so happy, day after day. I have never been anywhere that felt so much like I was finally 'home'. Again, thank you. I find those words woefully inadequate in expressing my deep appreciation. Nancy Lewis, Mashatu Research Shadowing Programme, March 2008
"The project has been an experience that I will always cherish. It out weighed all my expectations and provides volunteers with amazing once in a life time experiences. I hope to be able to return in the future." Emma Stud, UK. Lion Rehabilitation Project, Zimbabwe. December 2007.
