The EWVP offers the opportunity to work on both community based projects and wildlife based projects, during intensive 14-day, 28-day, 42-day and 56 day programmes. The EWVP motto is ‘Conservation through Education and Interaction’ and we try offer the students a holistic view on conservation, by showing both the people affected by Conservation and Conservation issues today. 

The program focuses on the Conservational aspects of running the conservancy and wildlife in conjunction with the community, the Animal husbandry aspects of looking after the elephant, horses and cattle as well as the Community up-liftment projects. 

Running the conservancy will require that students participate in activities such as anti-poaching patrols, fence patrols, bush clearing, maintenance of infrastructure, research on wildlife and flora within the reserve and at times game capture and release.  

The conservational aspect of the course is the many lectures given at night which cover many of the issues surrounding wildlife management in Africa today as well as educational lectures on animals, plants, birds, insects spoor (animal tracks) and so on.
