Volunteer Projects in Africa


If you are looking for volunteer opportunities abroad, conservation projects in Africa, community projects in Africa or just a new and exciting experience then you have come to the right place. Here at COLT we offer a variety of exciting and rewarding African volunteer projects suitable for anyone looking for a gap year, career break, leisure travel or working holiday abroad.
Our African volunteer projects focus on making an impact on the wildlife and people of Africa, while ensuring that our volunteers have a safe, unforgettable and life-changing experience in Africa.
For the majority of volunteer projects in Africa, it is not necessary for volunteers to have any practical skills or experience. Most volunteer projects are simply looking for people who want to get involved. COLT has a range of volunteer projects in Africa to suit all. It is only important that you are interested in the volunteer project you are taking part in.
