Your life flash before your eyes as you’re robbed/murdred
>>2721073i hope noti dont think ill ever go to africa again and i get to play with cheetahsyou only live once
>>2721061That’s actually pretty cool anon good luck
>>2721157thanks !im getting a private shuttle so i think ill be goodam a white 20 y/o american tho so figured id ask around and what to do to be smarti live in new orleans so i understand crime in american cities, but i am sure africa is another world
>>2721061Hi OP,I'll be staying in South Africa from November til the end of January, so this is very much related to my interest.I will be staying in Cape Town, though I do consider booking a flight to Joburg to check out Kruger National park.I would appreciate if you could provide me with more information about the cheetah conservation site. How long will you volunteer there, how much will it cost you, have you done similar activities in the past?
Enjoy the wildlife!
>>2722181hi! its by joburg, its 2k for 3 weeks. i volunteer at animal shelters but nothing else. i just saw it and applied. there is also the cheetah conservation fund in namibia if you wanna volunteer that is easier probably if you are in cape towni think kruger has some crime but if you arent alone or know locals you should be finethe site itself just does breeds and releases wildlife, looks really coolif you have more questions id be happy to answer what i can>>2722394ty!
I looked at this and got the information years ago and haven't booked it because it's far and I am tired of moving around but it's still on my bucket list!How many shots to get there?
>>2722698a lot. but i am going to a travel clinic in the states, around 14
>>2722639Thanks for the information.I really like the idea of volunteering in such a shelter because cheetah is one of my favourite animals, but I am not sure if it would be the right thing for me.I checked out some volunteer promotion material and it looks like it consists mostly of lot of manual work. Plus, I think it wouldn't be possible to build a relationship to the animal in such a short period (I would only do a couple of days at max) so I am not sure if the work would feel rewarding.>>2722715Really? I am from Germany and the German federal office doesn't mention any mandatory shots for South Africa (only Hepatitis A/B and rabies are mentioned as optional)
>>2722639also, forgot to ask, how safe is Joburg? People from Cape Town have been saying that it is even worse.
>>2722722yeah its a lot of work but its 3 weeks for me and i think that ecsaping from the internet is goodchecked btwand its hep a b tetanis required but just suggested for insurance>>2722723its significantly worse than cape town, but you get a driver typically and shouldnt be in the city as you come from or tambo
bumpppp
>>2722723It depends on where you are in Joburg, if you're talking about Downtown JB (including Hillbrow and Braamfontein), then no unless you go with a tour bus or a tour group, there's a few "decent" areas of downtown, but there really isn't much to do or see there imoIf you do go to Joburg, stay away from downtown and the areas I mentioned (driving on M1 is fine though), though places like the Apartheid Museum, Gold Reef City, and FNB stadium are good the last time I went (back in December 2023)
I am wondering why South Africa as a travel destination isn't more popular on /trv/Is it perhaps because SA makes more sense for European expats and this site is heavily dominated by Americans?
>>2721061imagine cheetamaxxing and roping some eliza thornberry goofy SA gf or some quiet slender midnight black african girl with a slender body and insane waist ass thigh ratios. that would be the life no cap
>>2727398take a look at a map, buddy. how many 4chan posters do you think live in Africa?
>>2727398I'm not racist but won't go anywhere with more than 1% blacks for safety reasons and just get creeped out looking at them. Is there anywhere in Africa that meets the bare minimum specifications for an OK country?
>>2727452You're not a racist, you are just a pussy.Stick to Southeast Asia
>>2721061>work at a cheetah conservation site,how do you get a job like that? Is any previous experience required?
>>2727488Not him, but it's not really a "job", he is paying to be there
