Trends / Voluntourism

One of best ways to experience and absorb the culture of a different country is to walk among the locals and live like they do. With the Malawi: Service and Safari through Elevate Destinations, you can do just that while also volunteering to help the community grow.

 

Options include volunteering in the nursery school where you’ll interact daily with 150 children as they learn to read and write and engage in creative activities to help them grow. If you’re more interested in getting your hands dirty, there’s plenty of that too. Help is also needed with building homes and businesses as well as digging in the dirt and growing crops. Volunteers with medical backgrounds are given the option of helping out in the local clinic.

 

While in the village, you’ll engage in activities with the locals, dance with them, study with them and dine throughout the day. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make new friends.

 

Once your volunteer work is done, you’ll head out on safari for two days in the Liwonde National Park. It’s a popular spot in Malawi for viewing the local bird life along with elephants, antelope, hippos and warthogs.

 

The trip lasts for nine days and eight nights with prices ranging from $2,500 to $3,000, depending on preferred accommodations. Check out the website to find out how to book your service and safari today.
