Volunteering at a Namibian Wildlife Sanctuary
When I was 18 years old I made the terrifying decision to book myself a solo trip to Africa. I settled on a volunteer programme in the desert country of Namibia where I would be assisting with wildlife conservation. That volunteer programme was at N/a’an ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary - a sanctuary which rescues orphaned and injured animals.
This page contains links to a handful of in-depth personal essays from my time volunteering at the sanctuary.
If you would like to learn more about the sanctuary, I have a useful guide on the volunteer programme here.
