Opportunities in farms and ecovillages in Africa with Worldpackers

How to participate in Ecological Projects in Africa

For those searching for an exchange experience outside of the norm and are interested in learning more about the eco-projects in Africa, there is an option of working on permaculture farms abroad. It's the ideal opportunity for anyone looking for more contact with nature and a desire to get your hands dirty, as the opportunities are normally in the realms of gardening, construction, repairs and caring for plants and animals. Choose the spot that best fits your profile and good luck!
