30-40 hours a week. We are relaxed and flexible.

Email conversation and application before agreeing stay. Please provide details on why you are interested in the volunteering with us, plus a current CV/resume.
The structure of the week varies for different projects, but we aim to be flexible. Provided some notice is given, we will try to accommodate your plans. That said, a typical week volunteering in Zimbabwe looks something like this:
Weekdays: At about 7.30am you'll have breakfast at the volunteer house. At 8-8.30am you'll make your way to the project to start at about 9am. Here you'll meet local staff who will start you on the tasks for the day. You'll get breaks throughout the day and finish between 3pm and 5pm. In the afternoon you are free to socialize or perhaps take a trip to the shops or visit a cafe or restaurant. Alternatively, you can continue helping out on your project.
Weekends: Volunteers are free to spend time in Mutare. They can travel to the magnificent Leopard Hotel in Vumba or plan a weekend in Vumba Nature Resort. The country has a huge number of game parks and wildlife reserves. With appropriate notice, extended weekends can be arranged to allow for safari trips.
