Responsible and Supportive Travel: Ambre’s Wildlife Volunteering in Namibia, She Shares Her Story!
WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE BROUGHT ME…
This trip allowed me to discover so many things! First, the different animal species found in Namibia and their way of life.
I discovered Namibian culture, varied landscapes, each more beautiful than the last, very different from France.
I met people from all over the world, learned about their cultures, and significantly improved my English.
MY BEST MEMORIES…
One of my best memories was during an activity in the reserve when we were in the back of a 4×4 and spotted a lion about 100 meters away — it was very impressive.
Also, the children’s performance on Friday mornings before activities, where you can see them sing and dance. Then, there was the horseback ride where we got very close to giraffes and zebras…

DO I RECOMMEND THIS PROJECT?
