Volunteer Work in Namibia

Namibia is a favourite with travellers who are looking to do volunteer work in an untouched barren paradise, such as at our Medical Volunteer Project in the Caprivi Strip near the border with Botswana and Zambia.

Namibia adopted its name from the Namib Desert and is a country of compelling beauty, abundant sunshine, unspoilt landscapes and a large variety of game. With its looming red sand dunes, the turbulent Orange River, a variety of adventure activities, traditional towns, deep canyons and spectacular bronze sunsets it is sure to become one of your favourite destinations!

Namibia is one of the larger countries in Africa and is a mix of local cultures. It is the gateway to the rugged and beautiful heart of striking desert landscapes and is home to some of the highest and most expansive dunes in the world. The western border is made up of Atlantic Ocean shoreline, which is a popular beach holiday destination in the summer.

Volunteering in Namibia | Working Holiday

Namibia is the first country in the world to include protection of the environment and sustainable utilisation of wildlife in its constitution and there are many rare and endangered species of animals, birds and plant life to be seen which are preserved and protected.

Scattered among the sparse vegetation and Etosha National Park's Big Five are a few small towns, a favourite being the traditional Bavarian town of Swakopmund - a trendy, relaxed town with a modern infrastructure. Namibia offers a contrasting mix of natural wonders for you to enjoy while you are on your working holiday in including:

• The Kalahari desert, the Namib desert and the Atlantic Ocean to the West offer every traveller a land of extreme and diverse beauties
• Sossusvlei is an enormous pan that features towering shifting sand dunes as high as 350 metres. Dune boarding is a definite must
• Skydive over the dunes
• Amidst desert landscapes Namibia also offers some beautiful National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries
• White water raft the Orange River
• Experience the jagged Fish River Canyon
• Visit the ‘Giant’s Playground’ and superb rock-art sites at Twyfelfontein
