Botswana

When you choose to volunteer in Botswana with Shumba Experience, you’ll the chance to visit a wonderful natural location in the heart of the Botswana bush. It has everything for wildlife volunteers from incredible elephant viewing to fantastic photographic opportunities of lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest and hyaena.

Game viewing is excellent during the drier months of April to October. This is also the best time to participate on professionally guided walking wilderness trails and wildlife tracking courses.

The ‘green season’ occurs from November to March and this is when the African bush puts on a whole new look. Most animals produce their young while the migrant birds return to their sunny Southern African summer homes. Once the rains return to the region, the bush lays a lush green floral carpet and the sky is spectacularly blue, all combining to make this a special season to visit a Botswana volunteer project.
