Description
Volunteering in Africa takes you one step further into the true character of this intriguing continent than the average visitor. With over 5 years experience in facilitating responsible volunteering in Southern and East Africa, at African Impact we believe we are the on-the-ground African specialists in volunteer project management. We pride ourselves on being ambassadors of responsible and meaningful travel in partnership with our charity The Happy Africa Foundation. Volunteering with us in Africa could mean anything from working with lions at our African Lion Rehabilitation project in Zimbabwe, to teaching children in Cape Town or AIDS work in Mozambique.
