Living with Elephants and Rhinos

Program Overview

Living with Elephants and Rhinos

Situated an hour and a half from Harare, Zimbabwe this program is focused on the protection and care of seven black rhinos, three white rhino and three elephants. Experience a hands-on approach and learn the day-to-day life of working in wildlife conservation. This program makes a real difference towards conservation efforts in Zimbabwe.

Undertake hands-on work with these amazing animals and gain experience in game park management, anti-poaching and wildlife monitoring. Volunteers will also have an opportunity to get involved with community development and education projects, teaching local communities and children about the importance of preserving wildlife and the environment.

Should you have any dietary requirements or food allergies it is important that you let us know before you arrive. Please note we are unable to cater for very specific dietary needs (for example gluten, dairy or wheat intolerance) so should you need them you will be required to bring any specialist foods along with you.
