Live at Imire for our 6-week wildlife conservation course, where you will cover a wide range of subjects and skills, delivered in a mixture of lecture-style lessons and exciting outdoor practical activities. Our FGASA-certified Nature Enthusiast Course is the perfect way to increase your wildlife knowledge and respect for the natural world, while contributing to Imire's wildlife conservation efforts through volunteer work in the conservancy and within our local communities.

Imire creates awareness internationally of the wildlife and poaching crisis which threatens Zimbabwe and Africa, and the obstacles faced by local communities and conservation organisations. The biggest threats to the animals protected at Imire, and regionally are poaching and human overpopulation. Poaching is driven by demand for ivory and rhino horn in foreign countries, and fueled by poverty and lack of education on the ground. To protect the rhino and all wildlife, we believe we need to empower local communities.

Students are provided with a hands-on learning environment, where they are able to immerse themselves in our wonderful wildlife and learn about Imire’s history. We will open up a new world of possibilities and understanding of wildlife and their environment, deepening your appreciation of all our creatures, great and small.
