Zimbabwe

Career break in Zimbabwe

A career break in Zimbabwe is an exciting choice for several reasons. There are plenty of things to try and pack in to a career break in Zimbabwe too, including some of the best game reserves in Africa. An absolute ‘must do’ on a career break in Zimbabwe is to spend at least a few days at the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls.

Zimbabwe career break

If you would like to get involved with wildlife conservation on your Zimbabwe career break GYFGU’s has three superb programmes which allow you to do so. Two of our Zimbabwe career break volunteer programmes are lion breeding projects – both of which provide plenty of opportunity for volunteers to help with preparing the lion cubs for their eventual release back in to the wild. Our other Zimbabwe voluntary work project is a WWF-endorsed black rhino conservation project dedicated to ensuring that these gravely endangered creatures don’t become extinct.

National Park Conservation Work

Get to know Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe in a way most tourists don’t. Monitor the elephant population, carry out snare checks, help look for signs of poaching, learn about research methods and take a bush survival course.

 
A volunteer with lions

A fantastic opportunity to work on a pioneering lion breeding and rehabilitation programme supported by some of the world’s leading ecologists. Walk and work alongside lion cubs and take part in research activities, facilitating the lions’ safe release back into the wild.

 
Zimbabwe Big Five Conservation

Walk with lions and work with rhinos on a programme that gives you an unforgettable taste of Africa. You’ll get an incredible insight into their lives, and you’ll take part in vital conservation work to save them from extinction. Learning bush survival skills, paddling down the mighty Zambezi River and seeing the even mightier Victoria Falls make for some wonderful memories, not to mention glorious photos! This is a rewarding programme that benefits an amazing country.

 
Protect the Black Rhino

Live and work on a safari ranch, helping with efforts to protect black rhino, elephants, buffalo and more. Assist with anti-poaching measures, look after rhino, help with training elephants and get a feel for the real Africa.

 
Lion Breeding and Conservation

Zimbabwe is a well-established country for voluntary work in conservation, especially for working with wildlife in Africa. At this project, volunteers actively participate in lion conservation practices, working closely with the lions and wildlife re-introduction programmes.
