A proportion of the costs paid by the volunteers are injected back into the sanctuary. Donations are made to the Born Free Foundation, Wilderness Foundation and Save the Rhino, all actively involved in conservation work in South Africa. The reserve makes a conscious effort to employ local staff from the community. This help put funds back into the area. Moholoholo is a non-profit making organisation and relies entirely on donations and volunteer efforts. When you are there you really become involved in the running of the centre and you can see how you make a difference through caring for the animals. Without the volunteers, Moholoholo would not be able to do all their good work.
Volunteers are educated on the importance of conserving our wildlife on the reserve, and through their continued support they bring about a positive change in the environment. Through continual interaction with the local communities, volunteers are exposed to all elements of life in a 3rd world country.
All volunteers are given a full responsible travel orientation upon their arrival. The reserve takes this seriously and is very aware of their impacts on the environment around them. Children may benefit from simple interaction by the volunteers, or simple gifts donated to them. This allows them to better integrate themselves into the work and breeds cultural respect in themselves as well as those they meet.
Co-ordinators follow detailed guidelines on acceptable behaviour and practices of both game reserves and local communities. This may involve cultural considerations and protection of endangered wildlife.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
