Gap Year

Catchco Student Experiences are the specialists in offering the real deal. We do not act as placement agent and leave students to fend for themselves. We do conservation in Southern Africa and we give student the opportunity to experience day to day activities as we do real tasks for owners of Game Reserves.

This is your opportunity to make a difference on your gap year as you join other volunteers on an incredible life changing experience.

We emphasise the importance on making a difference and treat each individual application with care and personal attention, allowing our experienced team here at Catchco to let you participate in wildlife and vegetation monitoring projects, including assisting with the research on predator/prey interactions, elephant impact surveys, reserve mapping and wild dog breeding programmes. In some circumstances the team might get involved with the exciting work of darting and the fitting of radio tracking collars to lions and leopards.

Our variety of wildlife tasks offer you diversity in the projects you join, from caring for baby animals at a rescue centre to working and assisting award winning conservation teams on Big 5 game reserves. Our unique travel opportunities run from 3 weeks and are located in several amazing Game Reserves, like Kruger National Park, Asante Sana, Knyskna Elephant Park.........

Get up close and personal with wildlife on your gap year and go wild with Catchco Student Experience that enable you to make a valuable contribution to wildlife conservation on your gap year.

This is your chance to make a difference while having the time of your life!!!

The Experience
