'‘Thank you so much Africa Hope Fund for the experience of a lifetime. From our time at the libraries to the gorgeous and educational game drives to visiting the local NGOs doing conservation work - every day was thoughtfully planned and designed for us to learn, grow, and (hopefully) give back. However, the very best part were the people we got to meet and befriend in Mfuwe. This trip was a transformational and a beautiful experience for our whole family. We look forward to coming back with you next year!'' - Steiman family 2023

“Stepping into Mfuwe, I discovered a world so different from my own. Rural villages where education is a luxury, and where NGOs and locals work side by side to create real, lasting change. It was humbling and inspiring.
During our time there, we visited five literacy centers that help over two thousand children learn English each week, an essential skill for advancing in school and finding good jobs. I left Zambia with a full heart, lifelong connections, and a determination to return. There is still so much to do, and I am inspired to be part of that change!”

“Great experience all around from visiting local schools and conservation groups to going on game drives in South Luangwa National Park all the while being with warm and generous people”.

- Dennis C.

“Africa Hope Fund builds English language school libraries in the Luangwa River Valley of Zambia. Local students flock to them to learn and improve English language skills. Seeing students using this opportunity is an inspiration”.

- Peggy K.

“Going to Zambia with Africa Hope Fund was the kind of trip that you simply can't find elsewhere. The AHF team is deeply connected with those who are working hard to make Mfuwe a place where people (and animals) can rise above their challenges. From volunteering with the amazingly resilient local students and going on game drives with expert guides to relaxing at the lodge with hippos for entertainment, it was a rich experience that I will not soon forget”.

- Shirlee T.

“My time spent on Africa Hope Fund’s volunteer trip in Mfuwe brought so much joy and connection to local youth through reading stories and playing games that sparked laughter, learning, and lasting memories”.

- Athena M.

The Perfect Volunteer Experience!

One of the most beautiful places in the world to see animals. Known for its walking safaris, Zambia is a safe and friendly country. During the 16-day trip you will be hosted by Thornicroft Lodge near the South Luangwa National Park. During your stay you can meet with our children at six different literacy centers and schools during the week, and meet with high school age kids to help them envision their future then enjoy safari game drives in one of the most amazing national parks in Africa. We also have added some special surprises.
