By joining our eco-volunteering programme you will become part of an international scientific project that protects African biodiversity — living a unique experience in close contact with nature and directly contributing to the conservation of this extraordinary ecosystem.
Otjiwa 2026 refers to Wildlife Initiative’s project to transform the Otjiwa area, once a hunting reserve, into a space dedicated to long-term biodiversity research and conservation. The main goal of the project is to protect the region’s extraordinary wildlife and flora, including rare and endangered species such as ground pangolins, brown hyenas, leopards and white rhinos.
Otjiwa Collection covers over 100 km² of savannah, bushland and rocky outcrops — a unique landscape combining open plains and woodland, which provides ideal habitats for a wide variety of African species. This environmental diversity makes Otjiwa a perfect centre for field research.
