Antelope Park Combo Project
Experience the best of multiple projects in Southern Africa.
The Antelope Park Combo Project
Your Call to Africa Starts here!
If you’re looking for the ultimate all-in-one African experience, the combo prokject at Antelope Park delivers it all.
This unique project blends wildlife conservation, community involvement, and safari stables into one dynamic and immersive stay. One day you could be out on a game count in the bush, the next supporting local community initiatives, and another enjoying time at the stables riding and caring for horses in a stunning safari setting.
It’s perfect for those who don’t want to choose just one focus, but instead want variety, hands-on experience, and a deeper connection to both people and wildlife—all in one unforgettable journey
Project 1: Community Teaching & Developement
Overview
of the Community Teaching & Developement
Uplifting communities starts in schools – where children are given magical keys of knowledge and skills that can change their lives. In under resourced communities’ education can be a challenge and teachers are often overwhelmed by large numbers of students and limited teaching material.
Project Highlights
- Teach English, maths, and life skills alongside local educators.
- Assist with arts, sports, and cultural activities for students.
- Participate in outreach programs at orphanages and youth groups.
- Experience authentic Zimbabwean culture through community interaction such as helping at the soup kitchen
- Play a key role in empowering the next generation.
Project 2: Safari Stables

About the Location
Antelope Park is 3500 acres of Private Game Reserve next to the town of Gweru in the the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. Perfectly situated roughly half way between the two major cities, Harare and Bulawayo, it is easily accessible.
The park itself nestles in a striking setting – Savannah grasslands, Woodland and Riverine areas, big sky horizons – the natural beauty of Zimbabwe. The camp is situated on a beautiful watercourse area which draws the game and gorgeous waterbirds up close as they frolic and refresh themselves.
You will be sharing the location with a gorgeous variety of antelope, zebra, giraffe, elephant, rhino, lions in their own area and hundreds of marvellous African birds.
