Very welcomed
April 25, 2025by: Linda Chevrolet - FranceProgram: Turtle Conservation and Rehabilitation in BaliWe were touched by the warm welcome of the Balinese, their simple lifestyle shaped by religious rituals, their joy, and serenity. Caring for turtles was a real pleasure for the whole family! Releasing some into the ocean was incredibly emotional. It’s the perfect mission for families and for those who love turtles, nature, and a deep cultural immersion.
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.

What inspired you to travel abroad?
There is no typical day for directors and entrepreneurs… What I am trying to achieve on a daily basis is to find new ways of making travel a force for good, to look for people with the same mindset, and to get them involved in our mission.

I wanted to make a difference in wildlife conservation while getting to experience a new culture. Going abroad allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and immerse myself in hands-on conservation work. Being surrounded by incredible big cats and other rescued animals while contributing to their care and rehabilitation was an opportunity and experience I could not miss.
