Ethical Volunteer Travel: Léa in South Africa
Léa in South Africa: her feedback on volunteering with wild animals.
WHAT THIS ETHICAL AND SOLIDARITY TRIP BROUGHT ME…
This trip allowed me to be on my own. To start, being cut off from everything and at the other end of the world helped me acquire new skills in the animal care field, something I was looking for, and also improve my English.
MY BEST MEMORIES…
If I had to choose my best memory, I would say everything, because it’s truly amazing. From the morning walk with elephants, walking the cheetahs, to feeding the giraffes, it’s just awesome.
What I love about this project is that we really get to interact with the animals.
IF I HAD TO RATE THE SERVICES FROM 1 TO 5…
- Pre-departure information: 5/5
- Registration process: 5/5
- Supervision / project coordinators: 5/5
- Volunteer schedule: 5/5
- Food and accommodation: 4/5
DO I RECOMMEND THIS PROJECT?
Yes, I recommend this project; for those who want to be in contact with animals, this is the ideal project!
… AND FREEPACKERS?
Yes, I recommend Freepackers; it is a French-speaking organization, so registering and getting information can be easier for some people.
Also because they are always at our service to listen to any questions asked.
