Wildlife refuge: Claire’s experience in Africa
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.

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.
