Contact the ethical volunteering organisations, find out who you can trust, and who genuinely has ethical wildlife credentials. Find them here ...

The organisation is based at the Karoo Wildlife Centre in the beautiful Klein Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa.

When you next choose to go on safari - and please do, because it is wonderful - go to a safari region where there is no canned hunting; discuss it with your safari planner. If he/she is a true professional, he/she will know where. (For example, Botswana recently cancelled its elephant hunting ban.) All regions offer superb wildlife viewing. Just be sure there is NO lion petting or lion walking offered. See Africa's lions; living free.
