Research Expedition: South Africa 2026
From April 6th to April 16th 2026, volunteers visited Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa to get a glimpse into the life of an elephant researcher. Serving as research assistants, they supported Bring The Elephant Home (BTEH) in studying wild elephant behaviour and contributed directly to nature conservation. They also had the incredible opportunity to experience wild elephants up close! Two research volunteers shared their experiences in blogs, which you can read via the links below:
