Gap Year in Africa A gap year in Africa does far more that provide you with something interesting and attractive to put on your CV. We believe that travelling is one of the best forms of education, that Africa is the place for unparalleled adventure and excitement, and unrivalled cultural and social experiences. On your gap year in Africa you have the chance to make a difference and also the opportunity to have fun and meet people. Two of African Impact’s projects include working with lions in Zimbabwe and the Livingstone community development project in Zambia. Our philosophies are that there is much to be gained from meaningful time-out, the chance to broaden your horizons, meet like-minded travellers (and even un-like-minded ones) and, as Mark Twain so eloquently puts it, to ‘Explore. Dream. Discover’. Gap year projects in Africa Volunteer destinations   “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover” - Mark Twain   Internships & Voluntary Work in Africa African Impact have a range of volunteer projects on offer that cater for just about anyone’s taste and interests.
