I had a wonderful experience with this host! There were many different experiences and activities to choose from, and my individual needs and preferences were always taken into consideration. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and there were so many activities to participate in that I never got bored. Whenever I had a question or needed help, there was always someone available to talk to. I felt very well taken care of and would definitely recommend this experience!

I had the best time ever on this trip! ❤️ The schedule was super well planned, and it's crazy how many different experiences we had in just two weeks across South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. I had an amazing time with all the girls, hosts and volunteers I met along the way. So many unforgettable moments, lots of laughter and new friendships! 🫶🏼 This trip gave me memories I'll never forget and I'm so happy I got to be part of it! 🌍✨

I can't even put into words how magic the past 6 weeks at the hostel have been. This hostel doesn't just feel like a normal hostel at all. Every guest, staff member and volunteer is treated like a family member from day one! Mayra, Rene, Marion and Oliver are the most amazing hosts you could ever ask for and I'll definitely have a hard time finding another volunteer opportunity that could compare to that. I got to go on so many Safaris and got to see 3 new countries! There is no better place for your first volunteer experience, I promise!

My experience at the hostel was truly one of a lifetime. I am so grateful for my fellow volunteers and the amazing staff who were so kind and amazing to me and my time here. The wealth of knowledge I gained was by far my favorite part. From learning about the animals of the hostel to experiencing different cultures, hearing different languages, and listening to people's stories, this will forever have a lasting impact on me. Thank you the hostel for all the laughs, early mornings for game drives, monkey patrol, amazing food, and quality fun!

I couldn't recommend this experience enough!! I had the best time and right from the start I felt very welcomed. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, the food was amazing too. Working hours are fair and the staff you get to work with is always friendly and willing to help. You get to go on free game drives in the hostel, which is the best thing ever. Thanks for being my home away from home!!

I had a truly unique and unforgettable volunteering experience here. I really appreciated the opportunity to go on game drives and see incredible wildlife almost every day.
The work was fair and not too demanding, and the hosts were incredibly kind and easy to communicate with and made me feel welcomed from the beginning. All of the staff was so nice and friendly.
The atmosphere was wonderful, and I already wish I could come back. I would definitely recommend this project to anyone looking for a unique experience!

This was the perfect first volunteering experience. Everyone was very kind and friendly, and the workload was good because you always had someone working with you. We went on many game drives, and they were absolutely amazing. There was also a chance to join different day trips and camping trips, so you could see even more! I would really recommend this place to anyone!

This was an incredible experience that I can't recommend enough to other volunteers. It's very much a small family business, and they treat you like part of that family whether you're full time staff, volunteers, or guests. Everyone was warm and welcoming, the tasks were clearly documented and easy to perform, the food was great, the rooms were comfortable, and I always felt safe and cared for. I learned how to do new things like make rusk, yogurt, and bread. And in my free time, I got to see loads of animals in the hostel, go to two other countries, and da fun gorge swing for very little $.
