Hi, yes we do. We work closely with Pathfinders, an African adventure travel company and with African Impact, which is a Volunteering in Africa company operating mostly in Southern Africa. Both of these are reliable and personal companies with sound track records and exciting programs. Enjoy volunteering - it’s a once in a lifetime experience!

The Mvubu Campsite belongs to South African National Parks(SANParks). Best would be to contact them directly. This link to the SANParks website will take you to the page relevant to the campsite including the Mvubu Camp contact details.
