ONE OF THE MOST FULFILLING EXPERIENCES ONE MAY HAVE IS VOLUNTEERING WITH ANIMALS IN AFRICA.
Set against the backdrop of one of the seven ‘natural wonders of the world’, this wildlife project offers Africa’s best-loved highlights all in one place.
In addition to getting up close and personal with some of the most unique creatures on the planet, such lions, hyenas, ostriches, and more, you also get to do it in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, one of the most breathtaking locations, surrounded by nature.
Managing a wildlife sanctuary is a year-round endeavor. To provide the best possible degree of welfare, the animals require daily care and maintenance.
When you volunteer on this project, you’ll be a part of a committed group of people and animals that change the world and promote conservation.
The project takes great pride in the meticulous care and maintenance of our captive wildlife, striving to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare. The mission is to assist in the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned and injured creatures, offering a permanent sanctuary for those unable to thrive in their natural habitats.
The animals serve as vital ambassadors for numerous conservation and community efforts, playing a key role in raising awareness about the importance of conservation through education and visibility.
The commitment to the preservation and stewardship of the private game reserve is the foundation of the project. This includes diligent monitoring and management of its diverse flora and fauna, implementing anti-poaching measures, and conducting thorough data collection.
