Gap Year in Zambia
Incredible wildlife parks and the chance to shriek down the Falls on a piece of string: it’s no surprise backpackers are heading for Zambia. Naturally rich but socially poor, Zambia is the target of many international aid agencies and a little research will yield appeals for volunteers.
The country’s abject poverty and burgeoning tourist industry have created opportunities for volunteers right across the nation, including the chance to provide safari tours to visitors or teach conversational English to children. Whatever you choose, you can be sure your trip will make a real difference.
