The family volunteering program is set up for those families that would like to experience nature, as well as make a difference in wildlife and conservation efforts.
While the program welcomes families with children of all ages, the recommended age group is 10+ for children, as this will allow them to get involved in most wildlife and conservation activities.
Kwantu does however consider younger participants but on a group basis i.e. school/ youth group with chaperones/ teachers.
Families stay in family-friendly accommodation and join a programme tailored to your dates. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
This programme is tailor-made and quoted on request. Send us an enquiry with your preferred dates, number of people and what you are looking for, and our reservations team will come back to you with a quote. You can also call +27 42 203 1400 or email reservations@kwantu.co.za.
The family rooms will be separate en-suite rooms and will be sufficient for 2 adults and 2 children per room. The rooms have their own TV etc, to make them comfortable for families, and will be of the same quality as the newly completed non-family sharing rooms.
The program is designed for those that are interested in getting a glimpse of what veterinary science is all about, while also getting involved in wildlife and conservation experiences. This can be deemed a pre-vet program and does not require any prior knowledge or experience on the subject.
The Kwantu Academy is an academy of training aspiring hopefuls into becoming vibrant game rangers and field guides. The Field Guide course is an 8-week course and is fully accredited by FGASA (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa). The program has set start dates, which dates are selectable.
