Best Volunteer Programs in Zimbabwe
Program Overview
Between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers, Zimbabwe is renowned for its great natural beauty. Go, see one of the world's biggest and most spectacular waterfalls, Victoria Falls, or why not explore the savannah or the mountainous Eastern Highlands?
Zimbabwe has unique, ruined ancient cities, making it an interesting destination. However, poverty, hunger, deforestation, and poaching are big challenges facing the country. Thus, there is a real need for volunteers like you to work on various projects.
These projects require different skills and abilities. General requirements include the following:
- At least 18 years old for most of the volunteer projects. When in doubt, we advise you to contact the local project manager.
- You should have an intermediate level of English skills; some projects also require advanced proficiency.
- Depending on the project you're interested in, you might need to provide a criminal background check and a health declaration before volunteering.
