Volunteer Programs in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country of about 14 million people in southern Africa. Like many countries in the region, Zimbabwe has seen a long and tumultuous history which most recently manifested in full independence from the United Kingdom in 1980. President Robert Mugabe has held power ever since independence, and while a champion of the revolutionary movement, he has also faced much controversy throughout his tenure for human rights abuses. Today, volunteers from around the world are welcomed to join volunteer programs in Zimbabwe and lend a helping hand with anything from community building to wildlife conservation.

Amazing first trip

I had a great time on stables and wild life. The staff were nice and I learned lots of new skills. Went on lots of safari rides and was caught in a thunderstorm once and Martha was amazing at guiding the group back to camp. Ted gave valuable riding lessons. Sky was great at organizing things.
