(prHWY.com) January 28, 2013 - London, United Kingdom -- Many people are now choosing to volunteer on projects on their gap years that involve working with animals. Conservation projects are proving to be so popular with one gap year company operating in Africa that it has provided some information for future volunteers about what they should expect when they join up with a project.
One of the things that Gap Africa Projects suggests volunteers should prepare themselves for is very basic conditions.
Working with animals in Africa often involves working out in game parks and areas with very basic amenities. There are no creature comforts, so volunteers should prepare themselves for this before they travel to their project.
Another thing that volunteers should be prepared for when working with animals is that it can often be hard work. Voluntary projects are not a holiday, and volunteers will be expected to work long hours in testing conditions, often in high temperatures.
Although working with animals can have its challenges, it is still one of the most popular types of voluntary project and will provide volunteers with an experience that they will remember for a lifetime.
Anyone that wants to sign up to a project can visit Gap Africa Projects at
