African adventure

IVHQ has projects in many countries. I wanted to travel to Africa not as a tourist but to see the ‘other side of Africa.’ I choose wildlife conservation in Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. I found the program was run very professionally. Each day we had meaningful work tasks and a chance to learn from our excellent guides balanced with personal downtime to explore and share our time with the other volunteers. I learnt that stepping out of my comfort zone enabled me to grow a person and found I was up for the challenge. Volunteering is a wonderful way to travel with a purpose and I left knowing that I left something positive behind.
