Malawi Wildlife Trust

Lilongwe Wildlife Trust was established in 2008 when the first project - Lilongwe Wildlife Centre - opened as a wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and education facility. Since then, the Trust has grown into a world-renowned, award-winning organisation that focuses on four key areas: wildlife rescue and welfare, wildlife law enforcement, education and advocacy and research.

We're working towards a future where every wild animal in Malawi is free from human-inflicted suffering. Our wildlife rescue and welfare mission is therefore to work with local government and like-minded organisations to deliver rescue and rehabilitation initiatives that uphold and promote wildlife welfare and conservation.

Award-winning Lilongwe Wildlife Centre is Malawi's only wildlife sanctuary and is renowned for its high welfare standards. It is the only wildlife sanctuary in the world to obtain all three accreditations from PASA, GFAS and the Born Free Foundation's PAW scheme. International volunteers are integral to the Centre's work.
