Voluntary work in Zimbabwe is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get involved with some truly rewarding wildlife conservation projects. Going on safari is an ideal way to discover African wildlife but, if you are really passionate about animals, voluntary work in Zimbabwe enables you to get even closer to them and do something positive on your Africa gap year at the same time.
Zimbabwe voluntary work
If you would like to do some Zimbabwe voluntary work we have three extremely worthwhile programmes to choose from. Two of our Zimbabwe career break programmes provide the opportunity to get involved with a lion breeding programme. Our other Zimbabwe voluntary work programme is a WWF endorsed project dedicated to saving the gravely endangered black rhino from extinction.
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 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.
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.
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.
