Zimbabwe has a tropical climate, dominated by the wet and dry seasons. For both seasons, you will need to bring outdoor clothing preferably neutral in colour, as well as a hat and sunblock. Although winter can experience some cold mornings and evenings, it usually stays relatively mild during the winter. Some warm clothes will be required for early morning drives in an open vehicle and bush walks.

SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER: Hot dry season.

Hot days mean pack lots of comfortable clothes for warm weather.

DECEMBER – APRIL: Wet season.

Days and nights can get very hot and sticky. You need light clothes, although there might be a day the temperature drops, so ensure you also bring a sweater. It's a time of heavy rain, so bring a raincoat, but it's also a wonderful time in Zimbabwe and Zambia because everything turns green.

MAY – AUGUST: WINTER: Cold dry season.

These are the cooler months, and temperatures can be very chilly in the evenings and early mornings. You will need a jacket, gloves, a scarf, and a warm hat. But don't let this put you off, this season is a perfect time for game viewing and sitting around the campfire.

Yes, of course, but that's what's also exciting about this, isn't it? When you arrive at your project, you will get a proper orientation about our safety protocols.

Last, but not least, don't forget that if you bring your common sense with you, everything will be just fine!

Please know that medical emergencies are very unusual, but in the case that something happens, our project teams are equipped to deal with all situations and have strict protocols in place to do so.

The Volunteer Manager for the project will ensure that you receive immediate medical assistance.
