Meet Dingani, one of the wildlife sanctuary staff

Meet Dingani, one of the wildlife sanctuary staff members in Zimbabwe. Dingani has been with the sanctuary for many years, and the bond he shares with the wildlife he cares for is unbelievable. Bush walks with the baboons is a highlight of the volunteer programme, where you can appreciate the amazing relationship between man and the animals that mean the world to him 🐒🐒.

👉🏼 Zimbabwe is open for volunteers with no quarantine for entry!
Drop us an email - info@conservationtravelafrica.org to find out more 😎

Horse riding, amazing scenery and working with rhi

Horse riding, amazing scenery and working with rhinos! 🐎🦒🦏🐘

On our horse riding programme at @imire_zimbabwe you will experience the thrill of riding through the bush with the beauty of riding in pure African wilderness. Encounter zebra, giraffe and wildebeest and know that no two days will ever be the same. And when you aren't riding, get to know the resident rhinos and elephants as well and learn to track cheetah!

All in a days work 😀

There is no quarantine for entry into Zimbabwe (contrary to what we are reading online) and winter is a beautiful time to be in Africa!

9 baby 🦉🦉🦉! These nontuplet (yes that is

9 baby 🦉🦉🦉! These nontuplet (yes that is correct 😱!) owlets were welcomed to our sanctuary in Zimbabwe, having been rescued from a roof when the mother didn't return. They are now safe at the sanctuary and settling in well.

Did you know that the male barn owl provides all the food until the chicks are around three weeks old? And that an owl chick only emerges from its egg every 2-3 days. The staggered hatching makes things more manageable (for dad!) by reducing the peak demand for food. Hence why the nonuplets are so varied in size and appearance. But all cute!

Once ready to be released, these special Owls will be returned back into the Wild in a safe location to live out their wonderfully beautiful lives!

If it's Fathers Day where you are, we hope you have a good one, possibly with less children to look after! 💙

The little girl, as yet unnamed is the 6th rhino calf to be born at the conservancy in the last 7 years. An amazing achievement and we can't wait to see more pictures!

Hwange National Park - home to one of the largest

Hwange National Park - home to one of the largest concentration of elephants in the whole of Africa, and an animal lovers heaven! (Spot the croc in the video!)

Hwange National Park, at 14,000 square km, is Zimbabwe's oldest and largest National Park, establised as a game reserve in 1928. Bordering Botswana in the west and stretching up to Victoria Falls in the north and almost to Bulawayo in the south, Hwange has for centuries been a key thoroughfare for the movement of wildlife between Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Hwange is regarded as one of the top three places in Africa to view elephants in their natural habitat. However, elephants have been enormously successful in Hwange and their vast numbers, thought to be around 40,000, put a lot of strain on the park's natural resources. This is especially critical during the dry winter months, where they can quickly decimate the browse around the parks 50+ waterholes.

On this project you will work as a field assistant, supporting the permanent team based in the north of the park. Join a team of professional rangers, and you will monitor big game including elephant, wild dog and lion, and assist with vital infrastructure projects such as waterpoint maintenance and road repairs. This project is a unique opportunity for volunteers who are looking for a true wilderness experience, and who want an understanding of how a National Park works.

There is definitely no other project like this!
