Responsible volunteering in Zimbabwe

We are volunteer in Zimbabwe specialists. Volunteering in Zimbabwe is a wonderful experience, and the country has a unique magic which compels people to come back time and time again.

Zimbabwe is home to a rich cultural heritage, wonderful landscapes and some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. We have a wealth of first-hand knowledge about off-the-beaten-track destinations, a host of local contacts, and a passion for showing Zimbabwe to the world.

All our wildlife projects include a community element, where children will experience a very different way of life.
