wild animal refuge

Animal volunteering with wild animals in South Africa: Claire shares her experience!

 

WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE BROUGHT ME…

I discovered a culture different from my own and learned a lot about myself. This trip allowed me to push myself and do things I didn’t think I was capable of. I learned so much about animals, nature, but also on a personal level, this experience was very enriching.

 

MY BEST MEMORIES…

• The close moments shared with cheetahs
• Walks alongside elephants
• Feeding the giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests every evening

 

 

IF I HAD TO RATE THE SERVICES FROM 1 TO 5…

 

• Pre-departure information: 4.5/5

 

• Registration process: 5/5

 

• Supervision / project coordinators: 4.5/5

 

• Volunteer schedule: 4.5/5

 

• Food and accommodation: 4/5

 

A FEW WORDS…

I absolutely recommend this project. It was an incredible experience that I wish everyone could live one day.

The Freepackers team is available and attentive, which is reassuring, especially when traveling alone to the other side of the world.
