Awesome time
April 25, 2025by: Ambre Ance - FranceProgram: Wildlife Volunteer in NamibiaThis project allowed me to discover new things, both about the country’s culture and the animals at the farm and reserve. It also boosted my confidence and introduced me to a new way of traveling while being helpful. The encounters and memories will stay with me forever!
This program meant so much
April 25, 2025by: Ivanka Juricic - FranceProgram: Wildlife Volunteer in NamibiaThis project meant a lot to me personally, as it was my first solo and eco-volunteering experience. I learned a lot about myself and gained confidence. It brought me closer to my lifelong passion for animals. Professionally, it confirmed my desire to find a job more aligned with my values. Even though my field isn’t related to wildlife, I plan to do more wildlife eco-volunteering or get involved with animal protection organizations.

April 25, 2025by: Stephane Bendellali - FranceProgram: Wildlife Volunteer in NamibiaThis project gave me a new perspective on my daily life, allowing me to see things from a different angle. I had the chance to participate in many varied and enriching tasks, such as exploring the reserve, supporting the local community, helping at the camp, and accompanying the anti-poaching unit. I highly recommend this mission because it’s a unique experience. The people I met there moved me deeply on an emotional level. Freepackers were exceptional in their support from start to finish. Their involvement was total, and I have nothing but praise for their constant support and professionalism.
