Overview

DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage works in the South African bush to educate local children about the environment and ignite their passion for wildlife. Each week, DAKTARI welcomes eight new students to our camp to attend lessons, do activities, and interact with the animals in our wildlife orphanage. The wildlife orphanage is home to more than 80 animals that are unable to survive in the bush. They live out their lives at DAKTARI, acting as animal ambassadors to teach the children. Our work also extends outside of the camp. We host weekly Eco Clubs at the local secondary schools to reinforce the education the students receive at DAKTARI. We also run a Job Hunting Program where we help local unemployed youths gain the skills they need to find a job.
