About Program
Boloka Bush Camp stands out as a unique volunteer camp by offering an immersive experience that blends South African wildlife encounters with impactful community involvement. Our family-owned farm provides an authentic backdrop, creating an intimate connection with nature.
Through hands-on projects, volunteers contribute directly to local community development, empowering and educating children about conservation. Our three-week program allows for a deeper and more meaningful experience, fostering personal growth and lasting memories. We take pride in fostering a supportive and inclusive volunteer community, united by a shared passion for wildlife preservation and community upliftment. At Boloka Bush Camp, you'll find a transformative journey that combines conservation, community, and the wonders of South African wildlife.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger.

Program Impact
During our program at Boloka Bush Camp, volunteers have a unique opportunity to connect with local children as their buddy and guardian, responsible for 2-3 children throughout the program. This fosters meaningful connections and allows for positive influence in their lives. Volunteers also prepare breakfast and lunch, addressing the reality that many South African children lack regular access to nutritious meals. This crucial role supports the well-being and nourishment of the children, enabling them to thrive. This aspect promotes cultural exchange, creating bonds and lasting memories. At Boloka Bush Camp, we believe in the transformative power of these connections, fostering compassion, empathy, and shared humanity beyond conservation and community development.
