VOLUNTEER
Do you have a passion for conservation? Are you hoping to gain practical experience in animal husbandry, data collection and wildlife rehabilitation? Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure? Our volunteer program is designed for you!
​
Discover Zambia's National Parks, observe elephant behaviour, network with like-minded individuals, and cook over a campfire, all amidst the beauty of wildlife – a truly extraordinary experience for conservation lovers of all ages!
Exciting news!
A New Programme!
We are thrilled to unveil our latest programme!
This initiative is designed to be location-focused, providing our Volunteers with the chance to immerse themselves in a specific area for an extended period, allowing them to truly feel like a part of the team. While the primary emphasis is on Wildlife Rescue and Biodiversity studies, participants will also gain valuable experience in other departments.
This role will offer increased autonomy; although Volunteers will have a Volunteer Supervisor to coordinate activities, the responsibilities will resemble a job-like structure. Once trained on a specific task, they can immediately engage in their duties.
Volunteers will have the exciting opportunity to choose between being based in Lusaka National Park or Kafue National Park for the duration of their trip.

The 3 week experience as a volunteer was a very special experience. I learnt so much, had lots of laughs and met so many amazing people - fellow volunteers, staff, school children, local people. We got involved in so many different things. What I learnt about what the organisation is doing - not only for Zambia, but for Africa and for the planet - is truly inspiring.

From the moment I landed in Zambia, the team surpassed any expectations I had. The trip was filled with endless laughs, educational moments, and thoughtful events. You are an excellent coordinator and I cannot thank you enough for your efforts leading up to the trip and post-departure. I was so impressed at the team cohesion and camaraderie at the various sites. As an outsider, I was never treated as such and I felt like we were treated to not only GRI hospitality- but Zambian hospitality as well. Being afforded the opportunity to chat with keepers and handlers, to assist their efforts, and to see the love they have for all that they do was a gift. The program is well-structured, comprehensive, and incredibly interesting. It really was a trip of a lifetime.
