African Impact

“I really loved my time here. It was amazing to meet so many new volunteers and to experience so many new things. It was a great adventure to get to know a new culture and to get to interact with the community. Seeing the dolphins on a daily basis was incredible and I really felt very safe. It exceeded my best expectations for sure!”

“My volunteer experience in this program was undeniably the greatest thing I have done in my life! The people I met were amazing, kind, helpful, and allowed me to have an unforgettable experience in Zambia. You immediately feel like part of the family when you start, and it only gets better the longer you stay!”

Loved the cultural experience at the local hospital, Limuru Nursing Home - The principal of the hospital allowed me to get involved on an Executive Level Operations- Which turned out to be a positive outcome for my professional development.

I had a great experience, it was above all my expectations. The people is amazing, I learned a lot about animals, photography and conservation. I really enjoyed my time here and got to see many wonderful things.

This was my first time in Africa and I couldn’t have wished for a better stay. All the guides and staff were super friendly and know so much about the bush. Pre departure they told you everything you needed to bring and what to expect when you got here. If you have any questions you can email them and you will respond quickly. The work you do is very rewarding and they tell you exactly how the work you’re doing is benefiting the reserve and the animals. You really understand why and how everything you do is important. The day the day life is very quick, days go by in the blink of an eye. The volunteers all knew why they were here and everyone was super kind and friendly. You get plenty of free time to enjoy the pool, workout, talk with friends and play games. It was truly an amazing experience to be here for 5 weeks.

This has been an amazing experience from start to finish. Naboisho is absolutely stunning. Everyone on the project are extremely welcoming and you very quickly become part of a family. The animals that you get to see whilst on the game drives blow your mind every time. Every day is a new experience here. It is great to help collect data on the animals and to feel like you are helping. It is humbling to see the children in their school and spend time playing with them.

“It is difficult, to sum up my time with African Impact. I could use every superlative possible and it probably wouldn’t come close to explaining how being part of this organisation, even for a short time makes you feel. It is the most rewarding, amazing experience. I split my time between two different preschools and an after-school club. All the projects were filled with inspiring people and I genuinely felt like the work we were doing was adding value to both the teachers and children.”

“South Africa has been the best experience ever – African Impact has been life-changing! Sports volunteering was brilliant. The kids were a pleasure to coach and welcomed me with open arms. The coaches at the schools are doing a great job and I will miss them all greatly! I came to South Africa alone and was very nervous, but everyone did a fantastic job of making me feel this was my home. I’m leaving here feeling more than content and with a completely different outlook on life.”
