Because it’s
worth protecting.
Protecting animals, land, and the people who call it home.
Three decades of commitment: built on passion, not politics.
For nearly 30 years, we’ve personally funded anti-poaching units, farm operations, veterinary care, and wildlife relocations: without any government support or external donations.
​
In 2023, we founded Kruger Conservation NPC to go beyond doing the bare minimum. With trusted and experienced partners, we now focus not only on direct protection, but also on research, wildlife rehabilitation, and long-term conservation solutions.
​
We also know that awareness and education are essential: only when people understand what is truly worth protecting, will lasting change happen. By working with local communities, we ensure that our conservation efforts benefit both wildlife and people.
To continue this work, we rely on those who share our belief: protecting wildlife is not a job. It’s a responsibility we all share.
Tracks of Purpose
by Kruger Conservation
Tracks of Purpose is our Volunteer Project & Working Holiday Program
The Idea: Life Conservation Up Close
Experience what conservation really means. With our Volunteer and Working Holiday programs, you’ll learn firsthand, contribute directly, and get your hands dirty.
We focus on Impact, Adventure, Wildlife, and Community, giving you the chance to look behind the scenes, understand the challenges, and make a real difference.
For Wildlife, People, and the Planet
This rhino has been fitted with a GPS collar to help us monitor its movements, ensure its safety, and protect it from poaching.
Every animal we track receives full veterinary care and regular check-ups, so we can respond quickly to health issues or threats.
GPS monitoring allows us to manage habitats, support genetic diversity, and keep populations safe.
Giving wildlife the best chance to thrive.
Wildlife
Protecting species through anti-poaching, relocations for DNA diversity, GPS- monitoring and rehabilitation.
People
Supporting local communities with education, jobs, and sustainable development.
Where humans and animals meet, conflict arises: For local families, it’s about survival; for wildlife, it’s a fight to stay alive.
That’s why we focus on community conservation: providing education, jobs, and opportunities for sustainable development. Only when communities benefit from protecting wildlife will real, lasting change happen.
Planet
Preserving habitats and ecosystems for future generations.
Every species plays a role in a healthy ecosystem.
By carefully managing wildlife populations and protecting habitats, we help restore balance so ecosystems can regenerate naturally and wildlife thrives.
Relocating Giraffes for a Thriving Future
To ensure healthy populations and prevent inbreeding, we carefully relocate giraffes to new habitats where they can safely reproduce and flourish. Every move is planned with the animals’ welfare as our top priority, helping to secure a strong and diverse future for these iconic creatures of the Greater Kruger.
Protecting Rhinos from the Threat of Poaching
Rhinos in the Greater Kruger are under constant threat from poachers, making every conservation effort critical. Our work involves a careful, step-by-step process to ensure their safety and long-term survival. This includes veterinary health checks, careful relocation to safer areas to maintain genetically healthy populations, and fitting GPS collars to monitor their movements in real-time.Relocation reduces the risk of inbreeding and helps establish thriving herds in secure habitats, while GPS tracking allows rangers to detect potential poaching threats immediately and respond effectively. Every intervention, from medical care to technology-driven monitoring, plays a vital role in protecting these iconic animals. Through these efforts, we not only safeguard individual rhinos but also contribute to the broader mission of preserving the species and ensuring that future generations can continue to witness these magnificent creatures in the wild.
