About African Conservation Experience
African Conservation Experience are the most well-established conservation travel company operating in southern Africa today.
Since 1999, we have enabled thousands of gap year travellers fulfil their ambition of working hands-on with Africa’s iconic wildlife.
As experts in the fields of conservation and zoology, we take great care to match each traveller to the most suitable experiences for their personal ambitions. This can make all the difference if you’re thinking about a university application or future career, as well as enjoying your gap year to the full.
We’re working to create a brighter future for Africa’s wildlife. We think the best way to do this is by empowering people to gain first-hand experience of wildlife conservation.

What’s more, the skills and experiences you pick up in Africa can really make your university or job application jump off the page when you get home. African Conservation Experience can even provide references and organise recognised placements by universities internationally to help you take the next step in your journey… wherever it may lead.
