a great experience
April 13, 2015by: Happy VolunteerI really enjoyed my 2 weeks in Zanzibar with the dolphin project. I've loved dolphins since I was a child, so helping with research to protect their population in the beautiful waters of the Indian Ocean was wonderful. The project is well-organized, the place volunteers stay is beautiful, and all my experiences were positive.
I had a wonderful time
March 19, 2018by: Sara FryI wanted a chance to volunteer in a way that was totally different from my work. I got that, and I am thankful for the opportunity. Zanzibar is beautiful, the people I met were kind, and I had a wonderful time. The dolphin research was really wonderful to be a part of, and I also really enjoyed getting to know the local staff - really good people.
