farm.
Spending time with many of the animals including our baby baboons, young semi-tame
cheetahs, meerkats, caracals and leopard cubs.
Feeding the large wild carnivores including lions, leopards, cheetah and wild dogs.
Caring for the orphaned baboons which play a large part in out project. We currently have
over 20 baboons from six months to four years old. You will rotate responsibility for
bottle feeding and sleeping overnight with the five baby baboons which are currently too
small to live in the camp with the young baboons. Baby, senior and big baboon walks take
place a number of times every week to give all our volunteers the chance to bond with the
baboons, allow them to forage naturally and to give them regular exercise.
Enclosure and border fence patrol.
Project work which may include debushing areas, fence removal or building waterholes.
Assisting with N/a’an ku sê & Clabile's Clever Cubs Bushman school on the

Big cat conservation work which may include searching for cheetah marking trees, locating
collared carnivores through telemetry and GPS tracking, identifying, counting and tracking
carnivore spoors, checking box traps, undertaking game counts and building or clearing out
temporary enclosures for new residents.
During your time at N/a’an ku sê, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a
number of activities, included in the cost of the programme. These may include; a nature
walk across the farm or an eco challenge competing in groups against your fellow volunteers,
followed by a braai (barbecue) and an overnight sleep out in the field, star gazing and
waking up to a fantastic sunrise!
During your free time, there is a small swimming pool available for your use as well as a
volley ball net and a lawn area for you to relax on in the sun.
Occasionally the volunteers play football against the local Bushmen.
