For wildlife & conservation travellers
Field operations, not game drives.
Join guided animal field work — livestock handling days, reptile facility routines and rural outreach — in a real working landscape on the Wild Coast.
From rural outreach to wildlife field operations
Working operations
The field days exist because the work does — livestock care with local farmers, facility routines, community outreach. You join operations that run year-round.
Guided, hands-on participation
Staff demonstrate handling first, then guide you through it. Real involvement with real animals, at the level the day’s work allows.
Honest scope
We don’t claim conservation outcomes we can’t verify. What we offer is documented field participation in genuine animal operations — and transparency about exactly what that means.
What runs, and when
Operations vary by season — livestock field days, reptile and aquatics facility work, and outreach rounds each have their own rhythm. Ask about dates and we’ll tell you which operations are running in your window, plainly.

Straight answers
Will I see the Big Five?
This is not a Big Five product. It’s a working animal programme — livestock, companion animals, reptiles and aquatics — in the Wild Coast’s farm and community landscape.
Which operations run when?
It varies with season and the needs of the local operations. Ask about dates and we’ll set out what’s running in your travel window — no promises about work that might not happen.
Can I photograph the work?
Generally yes, within the programme’s consent and animal-welfare rules — staff will brief you on what’s appropriate on each field day.
Ask what’s running.
Tell us your travel window and we’ll set out which field operations run in it — plainly, before you book anything.
