Proof of impact from those who lived it
Award-winning Volunteer and Internship Projects Since 2004
African Big 5 Conservation in South Africa
“My time here has been nothing short of amazing. Outside of the impact I am fortunate enough to make, the wildlife is outstanding. I’ve seen so many elephants I’ve started to take them for granted. On top of that, the people that work here are truly inspirational. Everyone seems to love what they do and accepts everyone with open arms. All of the staff are eager to help without any judgement (they’re also a lot of fun too). This has been truly a memory I won’t forget and I hope to come back one day.”

Teaching & Community Support in Zanzibar
“Volunteering and teaching in Zanzibar has been an amazing experience, filled with the joy of making a real impact. Working with both the children and adults in this wonderful community has been incredibly rewarding – their enthusiasm for learning and genuine kindness are heartening. What sets this experience apart is not just the meaningful work within the project but also the exceptional staff who have made this journey seamless. Beyond the teaching, the opportunities to explore and connect outside the project have been key in forming friendships that will last forever. I will leave with memories to last a lifetime. Thanks to everyone at this amazing company!”
