Who we are? 
We are a Volunteer Organisation who is passionate about volunteering, conservation, and our local community.  We believe in volunteers who are just as passionate as we are and share our vision for a better world.    Wildlife conservation and community development are the cornerstones of everything we do and through us volunteers from all over the world are able to contribute time, money and energy into supporting conservation efforts and community projects at ground level.

What we do?
We provide once in a lifetime adventures for people who have a passion for travel, Africa, its people and wildlife and most importantly, a desire to truly make a positive difference in the worlds most magical continent.

Why do we do what we do?
There are many reasons why we are passionate about volunteering.  Most importantly, to have a positive impact on our surrounding communities and on conservation.  Our love and dedication to Africa is rarely matched.  There is very little which can beat the roar of Africa, but the most spectacular element of Africa lies with its people.  This is infectious for our volunteers and allows them to develop a new level of appreciation for the people of Africa.  The effect volunteers have on conservation and community members lives cannot compare to the impact that Africa's people and its wildlife will have on theirs.

Where we work?
Antelope Park is a Private Game Reserve and is located just outside of Gweru in Zimbabwe.  Zimbabwe is a small country found in Southern Africa.  It is considered low risk for foreign travellers, and of course when you are on project you will not be exposed to dangerous regions or situation because we monitor local conditions and stay on top of travel advisors.  
There are no specific vaccinations required for entry into Zimbabwe, but we advise that you consult with your local physician before travelling.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for passionate and energetic people who are ready to enjoy this fun and rewarding experience.  Riding experience is not essential.

Why choose us?
Our footprint across Africa is enormous with 50 projects currently and with 14 years experience we know what we are doing!  We put back much more into communities and conservation than what volunteers contribute through their project fees.  We promote responsible and sustainable tourism.  We offer 24 hour on the ground support.  Our projects are unique and incredible and allow you to experience a multitude of projects if you wish.  We run our own projects and in 2017 Antelope Park won the award for Top Volunteer Abroad Program.  We know our projects are well rated due to the high number of returning volunteers.

Loved every second of it. All the people are so nice, and there is really good problem-solving. There was a bit of a struggle with food allergies since the kitchen didn’t really understand the importance and severity. Other than that the stay was amazing. Thank you for having ...
