Julie Malley’s Conservation Adventure in Victoria Falls

Julie Malley’s Conservation Adventure in Victoria Falls

Volunteer Julie Malley spent three weeks at the Victoria Falls Conservation Experience. Her time in Zimbabwe included everything from animal tracking and alien plant removal to meaningful community outreach. Guided by passionate experts and surrounded by a warm, diverse group of fellow volunteers, Julie discovered a connection not only with the wildlife and landscapes but also with like-minded people who now feel like family. With highlights ranging from bush campouts to supporting a local medical clinic, this adventure left her grateful and already signed up to return in 2026.

Last month we were fortunate enough to be sent a video through of volunteers at the 'Zululand Wildlife Conservation Project'. This is a fantastic project, where volunteers are able to work alongside professional wildlife monitors assisting them with tracking and observing wildlife - all against the backdrop of some of the region's most stunning scenery!

The project currently focuses its efforts on three priority species; the African wild dog, cheetah and critically endangered black rhinoceros, but also monitors the populations of elephant, buffalo, lion, spotted hyena, leopard and white rhino. With a chance to work in some of South Africa's most prestigious game reserves, including the 'Big Five' reserves of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and Mkhuze Game Reserve.

But enough of the talking - here is the video so you can see what the volunteers make of the experience!
