Hey I was just woundering if anybody could help us.
Me and two friends are going of traveling next year and our first stop is Africa were we are looking to work with any of the big five for maybe 3 or 4 weeks.
Our spending range is probably around the £500 mark, I have being looking at some programs and I know this is not much.
Does anyone know any good firms to go through were most of the money actually goes towards the actual program rather then the company you are using.
I did find one program on the gap year website however I read a post here saying that it wasn't very organised and was not what it said it was, has anybody elsed used them?

Would be very greatful to anyones opinions or help. Reply to this

Please look at:
In Kenya: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org that cares for orphaned baby elephants and rhinos.
In South Africa: www.theconservationco.com that does conservation & research
Both are very organised companies and the money actually goes towards care & conservation. Reply to this
