VOLUNTEER
WITH US
Our volunteer programme is for those interested in the wider conservation of a whole ecosystem. People interested in learning about and helping manage wildlife conservation, protecting a wetland of international importance teeming with unbeatable birdlife and educating and uplifting poverty-stricken local communities.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME.
You’ll be comfortably accommodated in groups of 8 (maximum) at a time to ensure it’s a unique and personal experience. You must get the time and space to truly take in all there is to offer between your fellow volunteers, our beautiful African bush, and the kind people of Malawi.
We truly pride ourselves on the integration of the variety of facets available from the programme. No two days will be the same and the diversity of the programme will take you through the bush, into the Malawian communities and schools, and out past our sustainable agriculture practices.
Please feel free to email us for a more detailed brochure on volunteering.
