Our Horse Volunteering project is dedicated to the sustainable development of Antelope Park. As a volunteer, you’ll gain a unique experience by assisting in the daily management of an authentic African stable. This is your opportunity to discover the African bush from horseback as well. You’ll be involved with all aspects of the stables, from the daily maintenance of stables grounds to ensuring our horses are fit and healthy. Your opportunities span from taking that epic photo with an incredible giraffe whilst exploring the bush to experiencing the beauty of an African sunrise, all the while developing your show-jumping skills on the cross-country course and swimming on horseback. Antelope Park stables offer horse safaris, horse swims, polocrosse lessons, schooling lessons and tr...

The most incredible experience ever!
by: Pip Arris - United KingdomProgram: Volunteer with Horses, Antelope ParkI am 21 from England, and having just graduated university I was looking for something to bridge the gap between finishing and starting my career. I wanted to do something which would be making a difference and allow me to give back, while experiencing something new and out of my comfort zone. I came across Antelope Park and was immediately amazed at what the projects entailed. I decided to come as a volunteer with my mum in August and it was the best decision ever. From the moment I got there w...
Absolutely incredible experience
by: Meghan Longua - United StatesProgram: Volunteer with Horses, Antelope ParkMy name is Meghan and I am 19. I decided to take a trip to Zimbabwe in my gap year and it was absolutely incredible. My flights all got messed up but everyone at antelope park was very accommodating in rearranging my transportation and getting me situated even though I got there very late. The whole experience was absolutely amazing. The other volunteers were so kind and helpful and I seriously wish I had stayed longer. I only was there for 2 weeks but it was the best two weeks ever. From riding...
The best volunteer experience you will ever have!
by: Phoebe Lenehan - AustraliaProgram: Volunteer with Horses, Antelope ParkI had such an amazing time at Antelope Park! I love how we were able to combine the working horse holiday with other volunteer programs such as community and wildlife. We had the opportunity to rescue some baby elephants from Hwange national park. I had a wonderful time camping and seeing so much wildlife while also learning more about the endangered species. The food was exceptional and I could not recommend this volunteer working holiday more.

I previously volunteered in schools in Ghana and India though GirlGuiding Uk in 2017 and 2018 which really created my love of traveling. I loved volunteering but wanted to do something completely different for my gap year from working. Luckily I found the perfect project at Antelope Park, Zimbabwe.
