What is
Project Africa?
Project
Africa is simply a project conceived by Africans and implemented by
Africans to achieve self-sustained funding for environmental research in
Southern Africa.
Do I need
experience?
No. The projects
are selected for the very reason that field assistants can be trained
in a very short time to become a useful functioning part of the research
process.
Where
do we stay?
Each project is different. Accommodation
will vary from tents to chalet's depending on the locality.
Accommodation may be provided depending on each project.
Will I
have time to enjoy myself?
Yes. Rest
and relaxation time is built into each project. Remember that on some
projects you may have to travel daily to the research site, sometimes
through the best that Africa has to offer!
How do
I get to the project?
You will be met at the nearest international
airport to the project by an African Conservation Trust
appointed representative who will drive you to the project
site. They will settle you in and orientate you.
What happens
if I have a medical problem?
The project managers are all certified
first aiders and carry comprehensive first aid kits.
We also have emergency plans in place for every project
listed.
What do
I need to bring?
Every project
has its own requirements. We will give you a comprehensive list of clothing
and equipment that you will need as well as general advice |
