Lifechanging experience
April 18, 2026by: Alfonso Salcedo - MexicoIt was without a doubt a life changing experience that I would definetly recommend everyone to do specially if you are young. Its an amazing way to make an impact through every IVHQ program. They are super well organized, its 100% safe and they give right and clear information since the beggining. They are super helpful and a wonderful organazation overall. I would for sure recommend them to travel and volunteer abroad.
What a unique, amazing once in a lifetime experience!!
March 17, 2026by: David Opimo-Fisher - United KingdomI had the opportunity to go to a Wildlife Sanctuary in Namibia. I worked with the cheetahs, hyena's, and took baboons for a morning and evening walk. As I am tall they loved to climb up on me and sit on my shoulders - guess it was a good view. I met wonderful people and am proud that I had the opportunity to be part of this amazing project. I wish I could go again and will look to do so in future.
Best experience in my life
October 03, 2025by: Karen Kitazawa - JapanI chose IVHQ because of their reputation and I am so glad I did. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism and care. All the information I needed was provided in advance, and whenever I had a question, the team responded quickly and thoroughly. Once in Namibia, the support continued, and I always felt I had someone to rely on. Knowing that IVHQ had such a solid structure gave me peace of mind, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
