Originating as a small wildlife sanctuary nestled in the Namibian bush, just 45km from Namibia’s capital, Windhoek, the Wildlife Sanctuary Foundation has grown into a world-famous conservation organisation. We provide a safe haven and second chance for countless injured, orphaned and conflict animals. Whenever possible our goal is to release animals back into the wild – only those animals too ill, abused or habituated remain at the sanctuary. Our volunteers are critical to enabling us to continue caring for the animals.
In 2003, The Founders set their sights on establishing a clinic in response to the tragic and unnecessary death of a San baby. As a result, the Lifeline Clinic was established in the remote village of Epukiro, Namibia to provide free healthcare to the local San Bushmen population. In 2005 along with partners, the founders bought Farm Frauenstein on the outskirts of Windhoek and transformed the farm into a wildlife sanctuary and built a lodge on the property. The main aim of the lodge was to create jobs for the very people whom the Lifeline Clinic serves.
In 2007, Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary opened. The Wildlfe Project Foundations aim is to conserve the land, cultures and wildlife of Namibia.
We Believe in an Africa where;
Volunteers will have the rare and exciting opportunity to actively participate in the conservation, rehabilitation, care and research of African wildlife. The sanctuary currently provides a safe refuge for orphaned, injured or conflict wildlife including several lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals, warthogs, antelope and baboons as well as a host of birds, smaller African mammals and farmyard animals. Wildlife Conservation Volunteers are crucial in helping us to care for the animals in rehabilitation or permanent captivity at the sanctuary, as well as helping to maintain and develop the sanctuary. All routine aspects of the programme are carried out in a rotational group system to ensure that everybody gets exposed to the variety of experiences available.

There is NO Wifi at this project due to the poor reception. Please do make sure you purchase a Namibia Sim card and load data on it, you can purchase this at the airport upon arrival or at the farm (project).
The reserve is nestled between in the Namibian bush, just 45km from Namibia’s Capital, Windhoek.
There are ATM’s at the project, however due to signal problems they aren’t always functional. We suggest withdrawing money at the airport when you arrive.
As the nature of the work varies we will place volunteers under the supervision of various staff members. The co-ordinators will facilitate the smooth operation of the volunteers work, stay and provide guidance where necessary.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has advised the Foundation that work visas are necessary for volunteer placements in Namibia and need to be arranged in advance. This is a requirement for all volunteers who are non Namibians. Once you confirm your booking with us, we will send you a visa application form and clear instructions on how to fill it out correctly. If you are from the UK or Germany, you can use the Namibian Embassy in London or Berlin to process your visa. If you are from countries other than the UK and Germany, we recommend that you use a visa agency in Windhoek to process your application as our experience is that many Namibian Embassies do not issue the correct visa. It generally takes about 6 8 weeks to process your visa. You can contact our bookings department to make these arrangements. Extra costs will apply.
