Conservation
Our partner, Wild Tomorrow, currently protects over 6,000 acres of nature reserve in Zululand, South Africa, along with neighboring reserves equaling over two million acres. Our partnership helps conserve, protect and rehabilitate these wild spaces.

Our Teams:

Assist with various work including alien plant removal, game transects, game counts, erosion control, bird banding and more.

Assist with GPS radio collars for elephants, cheetah, lion, pangolins and more to help to monitor and improve conservation efforts.

Cooking and serving

Community Connection
For the long-term success of conservation, it is essential that local communities benefit from our positive interactions. We support two daycare centers and a local group of orphans, supporting their early education and ensuring they have food. You’ll help out as needed, including cooking food at the Saturday soup kitchen and playing games with the kids and sharing the love of Christ through service

Time spent with hippos

Encounter God in a whole new way
Our teams stay on a private game reserve for the duration of their trip. Each team is hosted by safari ranger Fledge Fiamingo. This provides opportunities and a personal understanding of the mutual benefits and importance of global conservation efforts, and the impact and involvement we may have to help save what’s left.

My girls are going back! This time my son and I are joining them!

Fledge's passion for God's creation is so evident in everything that he does. He can make you so excited about the tiniest grass seed!

Dr. Rachel Deloatch D.V.M.

We as team members had the unique opportunity to work on conservation projects on a game reserve as well as help at children's homes.
