The Experience

We need your help around our daily life (farm, house, garden). Usually, you work from 8 - 11 with the animals (cleaning, taking outside) and then in the afternoon (feeding, taking animals back). Sometimes, we have visitors during the day. You should not be afraid of being around big animals and you need to like life on the countryside! Our animals include lamas, camels, donkeys, horses, ponies, cats, chickens and dogs.

This was my first volunteer experience, and without a doubt the best I could have chosen. Sabine and Manfred are wonderful and super patient, haha. You also need to be responsible, follow their directions, and do what they ask (their instructions aren't complicated at all, and they're always there to help). The animals are very sweet and gentle, though of course, they are still animals; either way, Manfred will always give you great advice on how to handle them. I would definitely repeat this experienceβ€”I wanted to explore this part of Germany, and I did it in the best possible way! :)

It was a really nice experience to work in the Llama Oase with all the animals, connecting with nature, and Sabine and Manfred are really nice guys, just sometimes a little to much stress with all the work and house rules, but besides that everything was really cool experience jajjaj really unique and different from all and definitely recommended.

Going to the farm was my first experience as a worldpacker and I couldn't have dreamed of a better one! Manfred and Sabine are so amazing people, I felt so warmly welcomed into their farm and house which is so pretty and cozy! You can really see that they are passionate and really love and care about their animals and you will learn a lot from them β™‘ An advice I would have for you is to listen properly to what Sabine and/or Manfred tell you, especially around the farm because things need to be done at the moment, not 2 hours later ;p I met amazing people and I can't wait to come back!

I spent two weeks at Llama-Oase with Sabine and Manfred, and it was genuinely one of the best experiences I've ever had. Manfred and Sabine are truly two of the kindest people!! They were incredibly welcoming and supportive from the start, making me feel at home. I loved caring for the animals, each with their own unique personality (Mr Big !!), and helping with llama walks, horse carriage rides and other activities. I'm so grateful for the memories, friendships and confidence I gained. I'll definitely return and wholeheartedly recommend Llama-Oase to anyone wishing to volunteer!
