Eastern Cape Game Reserves Near Port Elizabeth
The Eastern Cape of South Africa has several Game Reserves well worth visiting in the malaria-free area. This casual footage was taken at Addo Elephant National Park, Shamwari (private reserve) and Kragga Kamma Game Reserve.
These are all nearby Port Elizabeth, a great base to visit the parks and reserves from. You can do self-drive game viewing at the public parks, and the private ones can arrange drives with their qualified rangers.
There are many more reserves we hope to feature in the near future.
On a sad note, rhino poaching has become a daily occurrence in South Africa. Feeding the high demand from the Asian black market, these animals are being slaughtered for their horns. Some killed despite having their horns removed.
The Rhino in this video is from old footage from Kragga Kamma Game Park. Sadly a female was shot by poachers two nights ago at this park, possibly even this rhino, despite only having an inch of the horn left. She was nursing a baby rhino, who is now orphaned.

South Africa Pumba Game Reserve
I went to South Africa on the 3rd of June to do some conservation work for 10 days with college. The reserve i went to was called Pumba Private Game Reserve. Was the best experience of my life.
If you get a chance to go to South Africa to do conservation work, take the opportunity, as you won't be disappointed. .
Here are just some of the photos I took.

I was lucky enough to spend a few days at Shamwari Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape over my mid term break. I got spoilt with lots of vegan food and got to spend some amazing time with their beautiful wild animals as well as visit their rehabilitation centre.

Mischa talks about her time as a volunteer at the Daniell Cheetah Project, near Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
Why don't you try it? You don't need any experience to join us, and upon arrival you will receive a comprehensive orientation and will be fully briefed and trained in all areas. You will be introduced to all members of staff and given a tour of the Project. You will be shown where everything is and briefed exactly how to use everything. You will not be expected to carry out any duties without the appropriate training and supervision. You will also be given more information on our reintroduction project and the plight of the spotted cats, so that you fully understand just how important and valuable the project work and your contribution as a volunteer is.
We are very flexible in the sense that if a volunteer wanting two days or half a day off, there is no problem in doing this. In a radius of a hundred kilometers we have the following; the village Kirkwood, Addo Park, Raptor Centre, Schotia Private Game Reserve, Restaurants, Port Elizabeth - shops etc., and Jeffreys Bay. There will be transport available for you.
To volunteer we ask for a donation of only ZAR 600/day. Accommodation and meals will be included in this.
There is never a dull moment, volunteering and working with/for the endangered wild cats. There's always something with which you will be able to assist. You will gain skills and knowledge that are priceless. You will form bonds of understanding, love and trust between you and the animals while interacting with people from all walks of life. Also, we are a project who makes sure you are responsible volunteering.
