 Observe and rescue wild safari animals when you volunteer with our Animal Rescue Project in Zimbabwe.
You will be involved in assisting park rangers in releasing
animals like zebras, elephants and cheetahs from illegal
hunting snares. In addition to your work in wildlife rescue
and poaching prevention, you will be helping specialized
researchers study the habits of wild hyenas and lions.
This research will be used to help rangers preserve the
national park for the benefit of these diminishing wild
species.
During your time on the reserve, you will be living side-by-side
with the animals that roam through the camp, including
elephants, zebras, and wild antelope. As a volunteer in
Zimbabwe, you will be taking part in important research
on how humans can help preserve the natural habitat of
the local animal population.

"[My favorite
experience was] one day we came across a live
buffalo caught in a snare. We darted the buffalo, cut
the snare, cleaned his
wound and watched him walk away."
