'‘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

“Best experience of my entire life volunteering

with Africa Hope Fund at the school, meeting the wonderful people of Zambia and experiencing the fantastic wildlife of the nearby South Luangwa National Park.” ~Pat Cole 2016
“Friends have asked me if I felt safe there. My answer is "Yes! I never felt unsafe." Even with the beautiful wild animals passing through the lodge grounds. My time there sped by much too quickly! I recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about, experience, and, at the same time, serve others in this beautiful environment” Caroline Wadman 2018

“Thank you so much for all of your help in putting our recent trip to Zambia together for us. It was a fantastic experience for the whole of our family and we enjoyed every minute of it.

Not only is the country beautiful and the wildlife spectacular but the people were all warm and welcoming. We were particularly touched by our morning spent at the Mfuwe Library. Seeing the dedication of the teachers and the enthusiasm of the students was inspiring. Both of our girls took part in the classes and joined in the fun in the playground”.
