I honestly had the best time here! From the very first second, I felt so welcome, comfortable, and well taken care of. The mix of adventure, comfort, the Center, animals, and relaxing by the pool was absolutely perfect. I loved cooking together, spending time with the animals, and exploring new places. Noor also made sure we had plenty of adventures, so I was never bored for even a second! The work felt meaningful, and I learned so much during my two weeks here. I'm leaving feeling incredibly happy, balanced, and fulfilled and I honestly could have stayed forever. would recommend this place!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I fear it will be hard to top the time I spent with Noor and Deborah; this was truly a life changing journey! For me, the opportunity landed right when I needed it. It was also a special time to join them as they were preparing for their first the Center guests to arrive. Due to this the work was mostly manual, which was great for me, but I think during other periods the work will be more gardening and looking after the animals (& cutie patootie cats) alongside property maintenance. So if this is what you're looking for - JUMP at the chance! The BEST.

Selene was an amazing volunteer! Her work ethic is very professional, she has the abilities to see things that need doing before you even ask for it. Her work experience in hospitality and food, prepared her for working in our kitchen and her curiosity and desire to always learn more enabled her to work quickly in the garden and learn so much. We became good friends and she adopted well too living on the farm. We look forward to seeing her again as we have become friends.

There was some misunderstanding on both sides for my week 2 which is why I had to cut my stay short. The hots were lovely and welcoming and I really appreciated their kindness.

The hosts preferred everyone to work together so if that’s not your vibe then you might not like that and every evening cooking dinner together is a thing.

It was my first Woldpackers experience. I stayed in a large tent with a bed for myself. Most of the week I worked from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and had weekends off; it's important to mention that you are responsible for sticking to your own working hours, and I was reminded of this as well. Not only Deborah and Noor welcomed me warmly, but the other staff as well, which made it for me a truly unforgettable experience that I will gladly look back on.
