I feel that throughout the trip I had gained a widened view of the world. I was able to experience a different culture than what I was used to as well as got to experience a trip that many would be lucky to experience. To ones that are hesitant, I would mention how easy it was to communicate with the staff as well as the information is clear and thorough. Everything there was safe and sanitary as well as you knew exactly what you were getting yourself into. It’s a chance to experience a life changing journey.

Project details
Ready for an adventure as a Wildlife Conservation volunteer in Victoria Falls? International Volunteer HQ’s Wildlife Conservation project is a thrilling opportunity for volunteers to get hands-on experience in a private game reserve home to Africa’s most incredible animals. Volunteers help with the upkeep of the reserve, contribute to ongoing conservation and research projects and stay in a spot where lions, elephants, buffalo and endangered black rhino could wander past at any moment.
What to expect and how you'll make an impact
Sweeping savannahs dotted with grazing herds of buffalo and zebra, bathing elephants, stalking lions and leopards flashing by. That’s what you can expect on IVHQ’s Wildlife Conservation volunteer project.
But without the help of volunteers, future generations may not have the glorious experience of seeing the world’s most amazing wildlife in their natural habitat. Many species of African animals are endangered or threatened, sometimes after decades of poaching which has left their numbers dangerously low. This is the case with the critically endangered black rhino which has been a popular target for poachers wanting to sell their horns on the international market.
IVHQ’s Wildlife Conservation project is set at a conservation centre on a private game reserve which aims to protect the natural environment and the creatures that call it home, as well as being an intensive protection zone for the black rhino. As a Wildlife Conservation volunteer, you’ll be getting hands-on experience and the unique opportunity to help with the upkeep of the game reserve, conservation activities and research projects.
You shouldn’t expect to be doing hands-on research or touching the animals, but you’ll have an important support role, with activities that can include:
- Alien vegetation removal
- Soil erosion control methods
- Waterhole creation, maintenance and monitoring
- Freshwater ecosystem analysis
- Animal and bird monitoring, tracking and counting, as part of regular game drives
- Road maintenance
- Upkeep of river crossings
- General clean-up of the reserve and surrounding areas
- Attend conservation lectures
- Camping out on the reserve
- Community development work at a nearby school
Work varies during the year and at times may also include:
- Game census counting
- Animal tracking
- Watching rhino supplement feeding
You’ll be working in tandem with members of the game reserve team, with their work also benefiting partner organisations including Birdlife Zimbabwe, Endangered Wildlife Trust and Zimbabwe National Parks Authority.

What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience
The support from IVHQ was so thorough and they gave me full confidence. I’ve proven to myself and others that anyone regardless of age can volunteer and make a difference. My room was very comfortable and clean, and the meals were excellent - exceeded expectations! Don’t hesitate. A life changing experience!
This was an unbelievable experience. My one regret is that we only booked for two weeks. My family would happily have stayed on for months if we could have. If you are hesitating, do not! Grab this opportunity and make as much time as you can to immerse yourself totally.
At the highest level it is an opportunity to get close to some of the issues confronting our planet away from the everyday routines of our home. Getting personal with nature, learning about the culture of a new country, helping do work that is meaningful in addressing pressing issues, and seeing something of how local communities live and thrive in difficult circumstances can all be life changing in some way. Put that together with meeting new friends, having fun doing things together each day, experiencing the exhilaration of seeing wildlife in the open, having the joy of sun-downers and overnight camping trips - it becomes an unforgettable experience. However, ultimately the whole experience is made by the local reserve guides. Their knowledge and passion and storytelling is beyond imagining. Their willingness to share of their culture, their experiences and their ways of thinking is humbling for a mere visitor and offers a perspective on the world that is far away from the run of our normal lives. Together all of these ingredients make for an almost spiritual experience. Do not miss it.
I cannot speak highly enough of my enriching experience volunteering with the Wildlife Conservation in Victoria Falls. It was an absolute privilege to immerse myself in the heart of conservation efforts, witnessing the incredible biodiversity firsthand, including sightings of the critically endangered black rhino. Each day was filled with awe-inspiring encounters and meaningful contributions to the preservation of our planet's precious ecosystems.
What truly set this experience apart was the intimate volunteer group size of just 13 individuals, fostering deep connections and camaraderie amongst us. Unlike larger groups, we had the opportunity to engage more intimately with one another and forge bonds that will last a lifetime.
To anyone hesitating about joining this program, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap. Trust me when I say that it's an investment in both personal growth and global conservation efforts. Don't wait another moment—sign up today and embark on a journey that will leave an indelible mark on your life. I give this project a resounding 10/10 recommendation. You won't regret it!
This is my first time to come Africa and it's a really good place to be volunteer!IVHQ’s pre-departure training was perfect. I’m very happy that IVHQ’s process is so complete. The local team was really kind, easygoing and helpful. They are amazing guides - super professional, always sharing knowledge about wildlife. We enjoyed sunsets and watching the elephants migrate, we saw a leopard running, a Baboon family climbing down from the big tree in the morning. IVHQ's project is safe and I will absolutely join again in the future!
The local team was absolutely amazing. I genuinely felt that the local team cared about me as a person. They went out of their way to make me feel welcomed and were phenomenal guides.

Location
The IVHQ Victoria Falls project is set on a private game reserve on the Zimbabwean side of the world’s biggest waterfall. The project is based at a conservation centre on the reserve, 20 minutes away from the town of Victoria Falls. The town is popular not only with visitors wanting to visit the breathtaking falls, but also with many seeking adventure and others interested in wildlife and safari trips. Many of the surrounding towns and villages lack modern infrastructure and their people don’t have access to the basic necessities of life. Volunteers can make a difference to these people while on IVHQ’s Wildlife Conservation project by helping with community development at a nearby local school.
Arrival and orientation
The program orientation begins on the first and third Monday of each month and volunteers need to arrive in Victoria Falls on the Sunday before orientation. After you have registered for the program, please book your flights to arrive at the Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA). Your airport pick-up is included in your Program Fee.
When you arrive, you will be greeted at the airport by a member of the local team and transported to the volunteer accommodation in Victoria Falls. Your accommodation is covered by your Program Fee and includes the night before your program orientation.
If you are travelling in Zimbabwe prior to your volunteer program, we can arrange for you to be picked up from the Victoria Falls town centre, on the day before your program orientation.
Orientation is hosted by our Victoria Falls team at the volunteer accommodation. Orientation begins on the morning of your chosen start date and covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program in Victoria Falls – an introduction to Victoria Falls and Zimbabwe, culture and customs, rules and expectations, safety, travel opportunities, and an introduction to your project and placement.
Volunteer schedule example
First Day On your first day of volunteering, you will take part in your program orientation at the centre on the reserve.
Weekdays
You will have a morning and afternoon shift, each of which will last around 2 to 5 hours. Your daily schedule will vary depending on the season and the nature of the work being done at the time, but a fairly typical day would be as follows:
5:30 - 6:00 AM | Breakfast at the conservation centre. |
6:30 AM | Volunteers typically head out to begin work for the morning on the reserve or surrounding area. |
11:00 AM | Volunteers return to the center to clean up before lunch. |
12:00 - 12:30 PM | Lunch is served. |
4:00 - 6:30 PM | Volunteers head out for work on the reserve or other afternoon activity, then return to the centre to clean up before dinner. |
7:00 - 7:30 PM | Dinner at the conservation centre. |
Weekends
There is no shortage of things to do in Victoria Falls, with activities ranging from whitewater rafting to sunset river cruising. Victoria Falls is one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nature enthusiasts and animal lovers will have the unique opportunity to explore via safari and guided tours, visiting rainforests swirling with clouds of mist that hide a plethora of endangered species.
The town of Victoria Falls offers many popular tourist spots for sampling Zimbabwean cuisine and buying handicrafts from local artisans. Extreme sports are also plentiful in Victoria Falls, with whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling, zip lining and gorge swinging on offer. Outdoor enthusiasts can take part in fishing, horseback riding, canoeing and cycling.
Volunteers staying for longer periods of time who wish to travel further afield, can explore the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, check out the unusual rock formations in Matobo Hills National Park, or go diving in the cobalt blue water of the Chinoyi Caves.
Accommodation and WiFi
Volunteers are accommodated within private rooms at the conservation centre where the program is based. As the centre is situated on a game reserve, it is not uncommon to see African wildlife grazing throughout the day.
Bedrooms have one single bed per room and a ceiling fan, desk and storage shelving. Bathrooms are shared between up to four volunteers of the same gender and offer western toilets and hot showers. In addition to the sleeping quarters, the accommodation also has an open-air communal area with a swimming pool, braai (barbecue) and picnic tables where volunteers can socialise and enjoy meals.
WiFi is also available at the volunteer accommodation.
Bedding is provided and during the hot months a sheet should be adequate cover in the evenings, as there is no air conditioning in the volunteer accommodation. During the cooler months, you may wish to bring a sleeping bag for an extra layer of warmth.
The conservation centre has staff on site 24-hours a day and a safe is available in the staff office for volunteers to store small valuables. As the reserve is a ‘Big 5’ area (home to lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), the property is protected by an electric fence and volunteers need to ask permission before leaving the facility and cannot leave the facility on foot.
On-site staff clean the accommodation throughout the week, however volunteers are also required to keep these areas tidy. Laundry services are provided on a weekly basis.
Meals
Volunteers are served three meals per day, prepared by an on-site local cook. All meals will be a mix of western and traditional Zimbabwean food.
Breakfast may include cereal, eggs, pancakes, porridge, fruit or toast, accompanied with coffee and tea. Lunches will be a mixture of sandwiches, quiches, burgers, salads and other similar foods. Dinners will commonly consist of pasta, fish, meat, starches and/or vegetables.
The local team is happy to accommodate special dietary requests. Please let your IVHQ Program Manager know of any special dietary needs in advance so we can ensure the local team is prepared for you.
