Volunteer at Lilongwe Wildlife Centre

Volunteer Opportunities
Three week and three month opportunities available to keen and enthusiastic individuals who would like to join a new and exciting project here in the heart of Malawi.

The new facility shall be developed to cater for the country's orphaned and injured animals and will offer a unique opportunity for Malawians to appreciate and learn more about wildlife conservation and animal rehabilitation work.

Volunteers can involve themselves in a variety of jobs working alongside their Malawian counterparts, jobs that include feeding, cleaning, enrichment, hand rearing, veterinary care, research, fundraising, and education.

All volunteer contributions go directly to the animals, their feed and their care.

Release Programme
Volunteers that stay for more than 3 weeks have the opportunity to spend time at our release site, situated deep in the bush in one of Malawi's most remote and beautiful National Parks. This unique experience gives volunteers the chance to experience the real rural Africa and see the culmination of the Centre's vital work... getting rescued animals back into the wild. See the Volunteer Support Info page for more details.

Additional adventures
In combination with Land and Lake Safaris the Wildlife Centre can offer its volunteers very special rates to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia and to Lake Malawi for diving; prices that will make your financial contribution to the project even more worthwhile.
