We are close to several national parks and places of interest. Mapungubwe (a world heritage site) is less than 60km from home-base. The Kruger National Park and the Blyde river canyon are only some of the destinations that our visitors have easy access to…

More about us
Alldays Wildlife and Communities Research Centre was established with one aim: To allow students and volunteers to gain in-depth knowledge of the community and natural splendour of the South African bushveld while being immersed in a community of like-minded individuals from across the globe.
We host Durham University’s Primate and Predator Project which is primarily focused on human-wildlife conflict research. The establishment of independent research is a major focus of 2020 and we have a team dedicated to establishing new research projects.
Research is conducted on the Campfornis game farm but also extends to surrounding properties. While we are primarily a research operation, community engagement plays an important role and we are regularly going to local schools to teach children about their place in the preservation of valuable natural assets.
We invite all prospective students and volunteers to join our dynamic group and come and experience the bushveld in all its wonderful mystery and diversity.
We look forward to meeting you!
