“Three weeks in Zimbabwe, I’ve had the experience of a lifetime! New to physical labor, I learned to use various tools like pliers, rake, spade, etc. Participated in unique experiences, such as sheep vaccinating, feeding a wounded owl, snake releasing, and more. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we faced unfamiliar situations. An example was when my fellow volunteer and I cleaned the crocodile cage with them inside! Alex, in charge, safely guided us through the process.”

“My trip to South Africa was amazing! We worked with big cats; cheetahs, lions, tigers, some lemurs, otters, hippos, crocs and many more. This place is a safe haven for the animals who have had a difficult life prior to being rescued. The fact I could assist in their care means the world to me. Since my first trip in 2021, I’ve gained insight in both positive and negative ways. I can never unknown the hurt that injured animals go through, but I see how many people are helping the animals to give them a better life.”

“At the project, various activities are useful, fun carried out in groups. The environment is around us, the degradation is on the soil, in the air and water, so activities varied and in the space of a month I could collaborate in the restoration of a piece of the coral reef, the reconstruction, planting of mangroves, the cleaning of canoe rivers and beaches. New experiences learned various techniques and met many young people who enthusiastically came to Sri Lanka to improve the environment.”

“I absolutely loved the amazon shelter. I returned again a 2nd time. The highlight of my time… was the care of Ellie the Tapir… and one of the sloths. I assisted with many animal rescues and releases. The staff at the shelter are all friendly… Over the road there is a little bar with a lovely view of the amazon river and the sunset.“

“I spent 4 weeks and loved my time there. The work is tough & hands on but very rewarding!! It’s so lovely to see first hand how best to rehabilitate the animals. Everyone at the shelter was nice and friendly. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and hope to one day have again!”

“An unforgettable experience! Being able to identify individual dolphins even from over 20 years ago and name new dolphins, gives a deeper sense of connection to these magnificent creatures. I also enjoyed learning about dolphin communication. It’s nice spending the day on the boat and then relaxing in the thermal pools. 10 out of 10, I would love to do this again!”
