About Program
Be part of the change you want to see in the world by going a Raleigh Expedition to the beautiful Greater Kruger region of South Africa.
South Africa is a country like no other - natural beauty, a landscape teaming with adventure, and warm & friendly people - called the 'Rainbow Nation' for its diversity & colorful yet complex history. South Africa faces enormous challenges which you can be part of solving.
As a Raleigh Volunteer you will be working toward integrated sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing the Kruger area today. Whether it's taking an active role in habitat renewal projects in one of Africa's biggest game reserves, or working with local communities & NGO's to create climate-resilient farming networks, you'll contribute to a brighter future for South Africa.
Through impactful Community & Environmental projects, and an amazing Adventure Leadership trek, a Raleigh South Africa Expedition is a Journey like no other.
