The team behind this family-run project have created a friendly atmosphere, making sure everybody feels welcome – whether they’re on four legs or two.
One of Africa’s oldest and most respected wildlife sanctuaries, it’s been a refuge for animals for over forty years. Today, it’s home to large populations of lions, leopards, monkeys, antelope, hyena and other animals who can no longer survive in the wild.
Many experiences in one
As a volunteer here, you’ll enjoy a very diverse experience. As well as working with many different species, you’ll get involved with lots of different types of conservation work.
Day to day, you’ll help to feed, exercise and care for the animals who live here. In the project’s animal clinic, you’ll also work with experienced vets to look after injured and sick animals. Through the project’s Epic Kids programme, you’ll have the chance to meet local Zimbabwean children and educate the next generation about the importance of caring for wildlife.
The perfect way to see Zimbabwe
As well as conservation work, you’ll also get to explore Zimbabwe’s natural beauty, including a trip to the largest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls, and Matopos National Park, which is famed for its populations of wild rhino, leopard and black eagles.
If you’re passionate about wildlife and want to explore the world of conservation from every possible angle, this is definitely the travel experience for you.
"It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. The people there topped off the experience and I have so many good memories, I'd recommend it to everyone and anyone - just thinking about my trip makes me want to go back!"
