“The ultimate South-African volunteer experience”

Why cooperate

Buffelsdrift Game Lodge and Global Serving Hands (GSH) recognize a shared passion for conservation and social upliftment and want to involve volunteers to share this passion. Our aim is that it may lead to a lifestyle change with a broader worldview for a better future.

In a joint effort, we can create a fascinating All-inclusive package in Oudtshoorn and offer the volunteer the experience of becoming part of our diverse South- African culture. The volunteer will be fully committed to the projects and get in touch with:

1. Social Development
2. Cultural Development
3. Wildlife
4. Sustainability
5. Conservation

Both organisations have extensive experience with volunteers in their own fields of expertise: Buffelsdrift is the expert on Wildlife, conservation and sustainability, and GSH is the expert on social, cultural and educational awareness.

What’s the deal?

The strength of the package is that the entire organisation of the volunteer experience takes place under one roof, which keeps it simple while keeping high standards of service and reaching for exceptional experiences. The basic package is as follows:

• 4-week voluntary work package consisting of:
  1. 2 weeks focus on social and cultural development at a school, retirement home or community project organised by and under the supervision of GSH
  2. 2 weeks focus on wildlife and conservation at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge.
• Working days from Monday-Friday, and Saturday – Sunday is open for own initiatives
• The total package includes:
  • • transport from and to George airport
    • accommodation
    • 3 Meals per day
    • Snacks & Beverages for own account
    • back-up/guidance/ support
    • mediation between volunteers and project
