Sibuya Wilderness Experience

I have been on many volunteer programs around the world and I can honestly say the the Sibuya Wilderness Experience is the best by far. The photographic opportunity is unmatched! The diverse program is nothing short of a amazing and I will be returning soon.

I had the pleasure to volunteer at Sibuya for three weeks last november and I had the time of my life, a truly unforgettable experience I will treasure forever! It was the first time I travelled abroad on my own and I'm not going to lie, it was a bit overwhelming at first. But the team at Sibuya were so helpful throughout every step of the process and my entire stay there. The program was amazing with a large variety of activities with a great focus on wildlife conservation, community engagement and also discovering the beautiful region around Kenton-on-Sea. We were lucky enough to see wildlife everyday and experience the behind the scene with the rangers on a daily basis. For me, the people we had the chance to spend our time there with were a big part of our experience. Their knowledge about wildlife and passion for their work really is an inspiration and I thank them for their dedication and what they've shown us. Through this experience, I have gained more awareness about our biodiversity and the challenges it faces today, I have learned about a new culture and beautiful South Africa, and all that with amazing people that I get to call friends today! Trust me, this is the trip you were waiting for!

I recently did the volunteer program for 4 weeks, it is a really great opportunity for anyone that is wanting to start a career working with wildlife or conservation. They don’t require any experience, so there is no need to feel nervous about applying. When you leave the program you will have acquired so much knowledge with the help of your guide, Luke. He is very knowledgeable of the area and patient with learners. When I went, I met so many extremely nice people whom I still keep in touch with today. So not only can you find your pathway in life, but you may also have life changing experiences and lifelong relationships. I highly recommend this program.
