Zambia

This project offers a fantastic opportunity for volunteers to work on the world’s leading programme for the release of lions back into the wild.  It is based in Zambia, just a stone’s throw from the magnificent Victoria Falls themselves, and aims to provide a solution to the rapidly decreasing lion population by releasing the wild born offspring of rehabilitated captive bred lions into appropriate National Parks and Reserves throughout Africa.  Volunteers will walk alongside the young lions in the beautiful African bush and may have the unique opportunity to bottle feed lion cubs! Volunteers will also join the conservation team working in local schools to educate the local Zambian children on how to protect the environment in the future.
