My Experience with Rainbow Garden Village in South Africa
by: Leonie Schütt - GermanyProgram: Big Five Volunteer in South AfricaI had a awesome time in this wildlife Program with Rainbow Garden Village (RGV). Before my Travel i was participating in a RGV Volunteer Seminar, which helped me a lot with my preparations and prevented me also from unexpected experiences on site. My Questions that i had, i does not matter if by mail or phone, was answered by RGV to my satisfaction and i felt well prepared. The Wildlife Program on site was just awesome as i was part of the ranger team. I learned much about wild african aninmals and their behaviors and could also join a university study program. The work is a bit physical and exhausting, but this is what i wanted to experience.
Volunteering in South Africa
by: Gareth Hanson - GermanyProgram: Big Five Volunteer in South AfricaSo eine schlechte Erfahrung. RGV hilft dir bei nichts. Das erste was mich nach dem Kauf stutzig gemacht hat, ist das ich bis ich dort ankam nicht wusste wo ich genau wohnen werde. Auch nicht wo das Projekt genau ist. Natürlich logisch weil RGV dadurch ja ihr Geld bekommt. Ich würde immer erst bei Google gucken ob dieses Projekt nicht ihre eigene Webseite hat wo man sich zur freiwilligen Arbeit anmelden kann. Sie zahlen der Organisation einen exorbitanten Geldbetrag, nichts davon geht an die Projekte, bei der Sie sich freiwillig engagieren werden. Für die Verpflegung müssen Sie auch selbst aufkommen. Sie helfen dir mit nichts, sobald du im Land bist. Wenn Sie Ihr Visum verlängern oder Ihre schreckliche Unterkunft ändern möchten, müssen Sie das alles selbst tun, weil sie Ihnen bei nichts helfen. Nach der bezahlten Zeit habe ich beschlossen direkt beim Projekt nachzufragen. Zudem stand online, dass ich dass Verpflegung mit inbegriffen ist. Was es nicht war als Entschädigung habe ich für 3 Monate 100€ zurück bekommen. Ich würde keinem Empfehlen mit RGV freiwilligen Arbeit zu machen. Es ist eine große Abzocke.
