A true unforgettable nature experience
September 22, 2023by: Rachael Green - United KingdomProgram: Ethical Volunteering Program in South AfricaA truly great experience that I will cherish forever. I volunteered for a month and the time passed incredibly quickly. The accommodation is good and safe and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. The safety and care of the monkeys are at the centre of everything which was really important to me. As a volunteer you are additional help, so you can have the flexibility to help and explore different areas which was really interesting.
An amazing experience I will cherish forever!
September 19, 2023by: Luisa Karger - GermanyProgram: Ethical Volunteering Program in South AfricaI learned so many things during my time in South Africa. If it was about monkeys, sustainability or culture, the people were always open to tell stories and spread their knowledge. I made some of the most beautiful memories there and wouldn’t change it for the world ?
Wonderful experience
