Volunteer Abroad | Zimbabwe

Imagine Africa without the mighty lion - a kingdom without a king. Nothing would be more devastating to this continent and its economy than losing this iconic majestic animal. With this project not only will volunteers play a vital part in the conservation efforts but they will also learn about the behaviour of lions, carry out scientific research and get closer to this animal than they have ever imagined. Saving the lion is possible with the help of volunteers.

This volunteer programme offers a unique opportunity to live in the heart of Zimbabwe and share the experiences of a 10,000 acre family-run African conservancy. Volunteers will live in close proximity to black and white rhino, elephants, buffalo, giraffe and many other animals and birds and will hear incredible stories of the history of the conservancy and help with research projects to expand the knowledge of the surrounding wildlife. This is a wonderful experience for volunteers of all ages to experience Africa in a safe environment, work hard and become part of a very special family. The volunteer programme is a life-changing experience for volunteers, staff and the local community. It is a wonderful way to get involved and give something back. Horse lovers of all ages are also welcome as are families with children aged 6 and above.

Africa would not be the same without its incredible beauty nor its majestic lions. Nothing would be more devastating to this continent and its economy than losing its natural resources and wildlife. Volunteers joining this project will not only be joining a dedicated team as they work towards restoring and maintaining 2000 hectares of a natural haven, but will also play a vital part in the lion conservation efforts by getting closer to this animal than they have ever imagined. Helping the environment and Africa's wildlife is possible with volunteers on the team.

This fantastic project will give anyone with a passion for horses the chance to also enjoy close encounters with lions. Volunteers joining this project will not only be interacting directly with more than 30 horses of all types while mastering the act of horseback riding, but also playing a vital part in lion conservation efforts while getting closer to these animals that could every be imagined. It's a unique opportunity for all animal lovers from around the world to work with and care for these two magnificent iconic species - on a beautiful game reserve in the heart of the Zimbabwe Midlands.
