Kariba Conservation

The programme presents volunteers and interns with a unique opportunity to combine community work with wildlife and environmental conservation.

TRUSTED AND RECOGNISED

Our team has been the first Zimbabwe-based turnkey provider of cross-cultural exchanges through volunteering, and internship placements at matched organisations.

Kariba Conservation: Wildlife-Human Conflict volunteering project is the perfect introduction programme for the nature & wildlife enthusiasts. Kariba town is home to experienced guides; however, they are not enough on their own and require outside help in order to continue fighting on the frontlines of preserving wildlife and nature. The wildlife conservation volunteering programme deals with anti-poaching and implementation of security systems for wildlife management

Awareness campaigns in schools and communities are conducted to reduce human-animal conflict and encourage the community to avoid littering, burning of indigenous bushes and putting up snares or animal traps. Key to adoption of these practices is working closely with communities to ensure they have enough food through gardening projects.

WHY SHOULD YOU APPLY?

For nature enthusiasts, this is the perfect introduction to teaching within local communities and furthering wildlife conservation efforts. Veterinary students will benefit from opportunities to monitor animal behaviour and treat injured animals. Experienced rangers supervise interns and facilitate the programme. Volunteers with skills and professional background to share can participate in anti-poaching efforts and the implementation of the latest security systems for game park management. Awareness campaigns to reduce human-animal conflict are central to the project, and educating the community on the importance of eliminating animal trapping (snaring), littering, and burning of indigenous bushes.
