The outreach programme extends DAKTARI's impact to a wider population and actively engages with the surrounding communities. We spread environmental awareness by empowering schoolchildren to become environmental ambassadors and role models in their villages. We achieve this through our Wildlife Crime Campaign and Eco-Club projects. We also run several initiatives which stimulate community development and job empowerment directly such as community workshops and our internship programme.

The mission of DAKTARI is to educate and inspire local children to value their environment and stimulate community development. DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage works in the South African bush to educate local children about the environment and ignite their passion for wildlife. Each week, DAKTARI welcomes eight new students to our camp to attend lessons, do activities, and interact with the animals in our wildlife orphanage.

DAKTARI is a home for wild animals whom, for most of them, cannot be rehabilitated because of injuries or being tamed by people. DAKTARI is giving them a second chance in life while being a tool to educate underprivileged children. The wildlife orphanage started with a blind donkey and a bushbuck. Today, more than 30 animals call DAKTARI home, including that same blind donkey and bushbuck.
