Details of the day-to-day life on the project:
Our volunteer programme is the primary experience offered at the Nakavango Conservation Centre, and is open to volunteers from around the world, throughout the year. As a Nakavango volunteer, you will engage in “behind the scenes” conservation and game reserve management activities, wildlife research, and community development programmes. About 80% of your working time is dedicated to conservation activities, with 20% being dedicated to community development projects. We suggest a stay of 2-4 weeks, you may choose to stay for up to three months!
Volunteers are kept busy Monday to Friday with weekends spent at leisure, providing you with the opportunity to explore the Victoria Falls area and take part in the adrenalin and leisure activities on offer, as well as give you time to soak up the local culture.
Rate structure: 2 weeks (13 nights) = USD 1,400; 3 weeks (20 nights) = By special request only; 4 weeks (27 nights) = USD 2,400; 6 weeks (41 nights) = USD 3,400**; 8 weeks (55 nights) = USD 4,400**; 10 weeks (69 nights) = USD 5,400**; 12 weeks (83 nights) = USD 6,200**
