This year we offer a few carefully- selected destinations and projects, which you can get involved in. All of them give you the opportunity to help local communities research and protect their fragile environments and wildlife. You'll generally spend a week or two on a project, whatever's appropriate to make a difference, with time allowed to explore the country afterwards, if you wish. Look out for this icon. . Festival of Wildlife - the 2009 Festival of Wildlife took us to the wildlife rich Serengeti plains. Here we were working with Save the Rhino International, which carries out vital work to save the world's rhino populations. Other benefi ciaries included the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and Honeyguide, a local Tanzanian charity dedicated to community support and conservation. We raised over £ 5,000 for these organisations. . Zambia - we support two schools in Zambia's Luangwa Valley.
