Conservation Volunteer Projects

Malawi is a fantastic place for volunteer opportunities. Visitors can offer their time and develop their skills all to help preserve and conserve wildlife and the natural environment. Becoming a volunteer with wildlife is a becoming more common as Malawi continues to be at the forefront of wildlife conservation in Africa.

Though much of the development in Malawi’s parks in recent years has been undertaken by not-for-profit organisations such as African Parks, there are smaller charitable trusts that make a huge impact. Organisations such as Lilongwe Wildlife Trust work hard work hard to rehabilitate injured animals and educate the local community on how they can work together to combat wildlife crime.

Lilongwe Wildlife Trust offer a variety of volunteer programmes, including a  a two week Conservation Experience tour which spends 6 days at the wildlife sanctuary in Lilongwe and 5 days at Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve undertaking elephant and primate research.
