Where will I Live?
Serenje, Zambia

You will be staying in a traditional brick or thatch hut, either on your own as part of a complex or sharing with one other person. All meals are included.

Qualifications and Minimum Skills
A passion for community work and dedication to see jobs through are the main requirements of this program. You must be prepared to live in rugged conditions and live without the luxuries of home.

What can I do in my spare time?
During your time at the project you can do various activities like walking, canoeing, game viewing and bird watching. There are many places of historic significance and scenic beauty in the area. If you are after culture then you can take in a traditional village, the Nasalu Cave with its Stone-Age rock art and the Livingston Memorial where the famous explorer David Livingstone died. If its natural splendour you are after there are many attractions ranging from the 65 meter high Kundalila (Crying Dove) water to the Lavushi Manda National Park another project the Kasanka Trust is involved in.

You can camp at the Kapishya Hot springs that offer an incredible rejuvenation experience and great bird watching in a gorgeous setting. An absolute must is the Luangwa Valley with its incredibly dense population of big game and magnificent sense of space.
