A career break in Zambia is an excellent choice if you like the idea of visiting a part of Africa that’s a little bit more ‘off the beaten track.’ One of the best things about a career break in Zambia is that it provides an exciting alternative base for exploring the Zambezi River and the magnificent Victoria Falls. If going on safari is high up on your list of priorities in Africa then a career break in Zambia is full of possibilities in this respect too.
Zambia career break
If you’d like to help out on your Zambia career break by doing some voluntary work we have two extremely rewarding volunteer trips to choose from. Our Zambia voluntary work programmes are dedicated to providing care and support to some of the country’s most disadvantaged children.
Discover stunning Zambia on this unique programme as you assist with lion walks, gather research and teach conservation, all of which will help to achieve the ultimate aim of the project; to release wild borne offspring from captive bred lions into appropriate national parks for their survival.

Work as a classroom-teaching assistant, or as a sports coach in Zambia. The aim for both of these projects is to take children from the streets, improve their educational and social skills to give them more opportunities for the future.
Provide much needed voluntary assistance to African communities, in exchange for a culturally enriching experience. This programme is located close to Victoria Falls, with many opportunities for travel to Zimbabwe, Zambezi National Park and many other African highlights.
Change the lives of the underprivileged children and adults of this South-West Zambian community by working on various volunteer projects. From building homes, assisting with medical care and lending a hand with education you can put your skills to the best possible use and explore the African wilds on a Botswana bush camp and safari!
