Step into the untamed beauty of the Karoo, where rugged landscapes and star-filled skies await. Based on a 20,000-hectare reserve on the Roggeveld Plateau, this experience offers a unique blend of nature conservation, wildlife care, and stargazing.

You’ll also assist in welcoming guests and participate in wildlife tracking, erosion control, and invasive species removal.
