I gained an in depth understanding of how living in Namibia is really like, with all the wild animals and the scorching heat.
My advice to others joining would be to take in every single moment as they really are moments you would not be able to experience anywhere else.
Preparation steps are clear and concise, so I knew exactly what to do. The local team are all very friendly and helpful, really appreciate their effort for making me feel comfortable. I feel like I've learnt lots of useful knowledge on wildlife conservation. This will make a positive impact when I share this knowledge with my friends and family. I really liked the Saturday braai as it incorporates Namibian culture into our food.
I gained a valuable insight into how people live in Namibia, got to experience wildlife up and close and how they’re being protected. I would 100% recommend this opportunity to others as it is honestly a once in a lifetime experience and something you need to experience in person.
I discovered a new country and new culture. It was really really extraordinary experience we did as a family.
The accommodation was simple, but comfortable and nice, hidden in the bush in the middle of animals. Just perfect!
Nice discovery for all of us and happy to see the country through volunteering. Don’t be only a visitor but a participant for causes that needs support.
