Short Term Volunteering
Shumba Experience has developed a range of Short Term Volunteering Projects to suit people who have limited travelling time. Whether you are taking a gap year, enjoying a career break or taking time out from work, these projects will help bring dreams to life.

Short Term Volunteeringprojects vary in length from 7 to 14 days, with the potential to gain similar experiences afforded to longer volunteer projects. You may have the chance to help assist with game captures, gain vital bush survival skills, monitor the progress of new arrivals at wildlife sanctuaries or conduct field research for wildlife conservation.
