Programme Details
The Lion Rehabilitation Programme
This is a pioneering breeding and rehabilitation project, which has the backing of the world’s leading ecologists in this field.
As a volunteer, you will be heavily involved in its vital conservation work. You will walk and work with African Lions, carry out in-depth research and data-collection activities, all aimed at ensuring the safe release of lions back into the wild.
Conservation Education Initiative
We firmly believe that one of the best long-term sustainable solutions for solving the conservation crisis that Zimbabwe is currently facing is by educating the local children and communities about their wildlife heritage.
Your placement will involve you working for 1 ½ to 2 days within local schools carrying out important conservation workshops with the enthusiastic local children.
