      VOLUNTEERS ACTIVITIES

      De- snaring

      De-snaring is removing wire snares or traps that poachers set across animal tracks to capture and kill wildlife. The poachers set the wire strategically with the aim of trapping the animal by the neck so as to suffocate it. This is a very cruel method as it is a slow and agonizing death for an animal. For this reason we search for the snares at poacherโ€™s hot spots and remove them.


      Bush Patrols

      Daily Game drives to the Park with the help of sanctuary rangers volunteers make bush patrols to monitor animals for their safety from poachers. This patrol helps to identify any injured animal or orphan which can easily die for lack of treatment and tender care. Volunteers take record of such incidences and report the case to the Kenya Wildlife Service which is in charge of all the wildlife in Kenya.


      Guiding and giving talks to tourists

      In the sanctuaries we have two hotels and camp lodge in which tourists spend their holiday while viewing wildlife. Volunteerโ€™s help in guiding the tourist to where animals have been spotted for example the big cats and to make sure the animals are not crowded by the tourists thus interfering with their freedom in their habitat. Volunteers are also involved in giving talks to tourists on animal behaviors in their habitats and importance of conservation. They will also develop presentations on animalโ€™s interactions during evening times in the hotels.


      Research on Human-Wildlife Conflict

      The wildlife especially the elephants do cross over to the neighboring community farms and the outcome is massive destruction thus creating hostility towards wildlife. Volunteers will be involved in researching sustainable solutions on this conflict and developing alternative source of income for the communities.


      Community Outreach and Education

      Wildlife conservation goes hand in hand with tree planting, for animals depend on trees for their survival. In the sanctuary we have indigenous seedlings to plant in the sanctuary and to give to the communities.


      School visits

      Volunteers will be involved in education on wildlife and strengthening environmental school clubs on conservation. More ideas are welcomed to run this program effectively.


      At the end of your time at Community Wildlife Sanctuary, make the return trip to Nairobi for a final night in a local hotel and drop-off at the Nairobi airport
