Volunteer in Victoria Falls

If you are looking for an adventure that changes perspective then sign up with IVHQ. My trip to Africa gave me a chance to view and engulf myself in an unfamiliar culture. I am so glad that I took the chance for such an educational and life changing experience.

Go for it ! Push yourself out of your comfort zone and if no one wants to go with you, go alone because you’ll meet the most amazing like minded people. It will be the experience of a life time.

I learned so much about the local wildlife and culture on this program. I was also pushed past my comfort zone at some points which allowed me to grow as a person.

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!
