DAKTARI is a non profit company located near Kruger National Park, South Africa. DAKTARI's mission is to educate and inspire local underprivileged children to value their environment and stimulate community development. Every Monday we welcome a new group of 8 to 10 local underprivileged children for a week and give them the opportunity to discover, learn and become passionate about wildlife and conservation, their heritage. We also supplement their school curriculum in English, maths, environmental job opportunities, life skills and social issues. Our goal is to enable today's local underprivileged children to eventually be able to secure good employment in nature reserves, thereby improving their future quality of life. Our program is supported by volunteers from all over the world who come to teach the children about the environment and care for the animals in our wildlife orphanage.
