    Description

    30 Day Dolphin Volunteer

    Volunteer stays and Internships offer a unique opportunity for one to gain hands on experience that focuses on marine mammals and ethical, responsible and educational tourism.

    For some it's a sabbatical journey tuning into mother nature and for others it is a platform to deepen their relationship with wild dolphins and to extend their knowledge base in a myriad of different ways. One can expect to have regular in-water encounters with the local dolphins while assisting Angie both at sea and behind the desk. The project operates year-round with programs lasting four weeks. Additional weeks can be arranged upon request and shorter stays on group bookings. Our volunteer stays cater for individuals as well as small groups and families, with the volunteer house accommodating a maximum of 6 sharing. Return transfers from Maputo International Airport are included, making for a hassle free journey.

    • Accommodation at volunteer house in the village
    • Healthy & hearty home-cooked meals
    • Training for specific tasks
    • Field trips ~ 3 per week
    • Mentoring by Angie & the Dolphin Team
