Samantha’s experience in the wildlife protection in Africa- in Namibia!

WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE BROUGHT ME….

Opening myself to a different culture, learning new things about animals, improving my English, pushing my limits.

On site, I was given various tasks:

  • Feeding the carnivores,
  • Preparing food for the animals,
  • Walking the monkeys,
  • Maintaining the cages,
  • Training anti-poaching dogs,
  • Walking in the bush,
  • Counting the animals in the reserve…

 

 

DO I RECOMMEND THIS MISSION?

Yes! Namibia, among the animals and the locals, was a very beautiful experience. The team on site is highly dedicated to the preservation mission, wildlife protection, and very supportive with the volunteers. I observed magnificent animals and discovered beautiful landscapes!

…AND FREEPACKERS?

Excellent support from Jacqueline of the team, great advice for preparation and quick answers to my questions before departure!

If I had to rate my experience, I would give it 5/5!
