Victoria Falls Lion Rehab and Community Volunteer

Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe, bordering Zambia and Victoria falls, is a diverse and exciting destination. In just one visit you can take up the opportunity to walk with lions, visit pristine wildlife reserves that are home to hundreds of tropical species of birds and animals, learn to scuba dive and enjoy the thrill of white water rafting and other adrenaline sports.

Free Time
During your stay at Victoria Falls you will have the opportunity to enjoy some organised excursions to some of the other spectacular spots that Zimbabwe has to offer.  These trips are also a great time for volunteers to interact and get to know each other better and will be organised for you by your project staff.  An optional extra excursion of up to 6 days, taking you to Hwange National Park and north to our other lion breeding programme in Gweru, will cost you approximately US$350 (this includes the National Parks fees), which is payable in cash on arrival at the project.

Whilst at Victoria Falls, ‘the Adrenalin capital of Africa’ you will have the chance to take on the worlds’ premier white water rafting, bungee jump off the bridge over the gorge below the Falls, enjoy sunset cruises on the Zambezi River or take an elephant safari! All activities can be booked in the country at your own cost, during the weekends and your free time.

Being so close to the Victoria Falls means that you are at a major starting point for tours through Africa. Why not join an overland tour after your volunteer project and further explore the amazing sights that Africa has to offer you. From 3-day mini trips to a mammoth 56-day epic, we have the perfect tour to suit your needs and leave you with unforgettable memories of Africa. Please speak to the Africa team for further details.

Getting There
You will need to arrange your flights to arrive into Victoria Falls airport in Zimbabwe (usually via Johannesburg or Harare). When you arrive, one of your team representatives from the Programme will be there to meet you and take you to your accommodation to settle in, before starting your placement.
