Where Adventure Meets Impact

Ready to step into the wild and be part of something bigger?
At AMES, we offer powerful experiences that reconnect you with nature and purpose. Whether you're seeking personal growth, adventure, or a meaningful contribution to conservation, we have the perfect path for you.

‍Join the AMES Conservation Fellowship
Built for students and young professionals ready to take on real responsibility, not just watch from the sidelines. You work alongside rangers, take part in wildlife monitoring, and contribute directly to habitat management on our South African reserve. This is fieldwork with consequences: the data you collect and the decisions you support shape how this ecosystem is protected. You'll live at our lodge, immersed in the rhythms of the wild, learning through hands-on experience and a deep connection with nature. Beyond the reserve, this is where personal growth happens: you leave with sharper judgment, a clearer sense of what you're capable of, and a network of people who took the same leap.

‍Discover the AMES Travel Experience
Prefer to travel rather than commit? Our partner WANDLAY runs an exclusive safari experience on the same reserve: a high-end tented camp, private and personalized, for those who want to encounter this ecosystem rather than work in it.

The Story of AMES and the Dabchick Wildlife Reserve

AMES vision is to protect and preserve Africa’s rich biodiversity through innovative conservation efforts. Our approach has always been to blend modern science and technology with traditional knowledge, creating a harmonious balance between people and nature.
‍
Together with the Dabchick Wildlife Game Reserve we can take our mission even further. We have developed a series of conservation initiatives that protect the incredible wildlife of the reserve while enhancing the natural habitat, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

This partnership is the foundation to our shared commitment to sustainability, where every action we take is driven by a deep respect for the environment and the communities that rely on it. By working hand-in-hand in Dabchick, we’re setting new standards in conservation and creating a lasting impact on the world we care so deeply about.
