DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage

The experience abroad is always something good, something that adds a lot to your life in all aspects. It was amazing to have the opportunity to work with children and animals at same project. An important point is the possibility of being in the project and being able to visit the villages and know about their culture and their routine.

The experience at Daktari was totally new and rewarding. I couldn't have chosen a better place to experience all of this. I met people who I will carry in my heart forever. I learned much more about myself than I did about others. It really is a parallel world in which I live, but now I have much more to tell.

It was my third volunteering in South Africa and it was an incredible experience. Full of discoveries, sharing, learning, laughter and tears. After 6 weeks at Daktari, I feel like I’m creating a family across the world. Solidarity and mutual aid are the keys to this project. Each group of children or young adults was very interested to be here and to learn. The staff are really caring and attentive. Thank you to the long-term volunteers and members of the office. Take care of yourself and our little pets. “Together we can save our world”.
