During your 4, 6, or 8 week placement, the majority of your time will be spent at the wildlife orphanage itself and then five to ten days will be spent either at Hwange National park or Matopos with the projects’ research team. There you will help with their leopard and cheetah research.
Equal amounts of time will be spent working on each of the wildlife orphanages' 3 major sections (carnivores, black rhino’s and primates) giving volunteers the opportunity to learn about each animal at the Project.
