I felt very welcomed from the moment I arrived at Kruguer the hostel. It's a family-run place, and you really do feel like part of the family there (with all the ups and downs that comes with that haha). They're super open to feedback and very flexible when it comes to communicating and adjusting things when needed. The kitchen work is pretty easy, it can get a big busy when they receive big groups at the same time, but overall it's very chill. The highlights for me were definitely joining the game drives and walks around Marloth the hostel to see the animals. I'm thankful for the experience!

Giovanna was an absolutely wonderful volunteer cook at our hostel. She prepared amazing dinners night after night, always putting so much care, creativity, and flavor into every meal. Her positivity, kindness, and calm presence made her a joy to have in the kitchen and around the team. We’re incredibly grateful for her hard work and the love she put into every dish.
We wish her all the very best in her future travels — any place she visits will be lucky to have her! 🌟🍽️💛

Had a wonderful time at the hostel. The location is very unique and there is a lot of opportunity to see amazing things! The activities are great and the opportunity to go on game drives on the same day as a work day is really appreciated. There was some very challenging weather during our stay and Rene worked hard to adapt our plans to ensure we could still have a great experience. The staff are very passionate about nature and this was noticeable from day 1

I had an amazing time volunteering at this hostel in South Africa. The team was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the start. Working together with the other volunteers never felt like work — it felt fun, light and full of laughter. The game drives were absolutely breathtaking and definitely one of the highlights of my stay. I'm very grateful for this experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a meaningful and unforgettable time. :)

The hostel was simply incredible on every level. The staff — Rene, Mayra, Oliver, and Marion — create a warm, eco-minded, community-focused environment that makes you feel instantly at home. The balance of volunteer work and free time was perfect, the accommodation was amazing, and the tours were unforgettable. The guides, Lebo and Robert, were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly on every game drive. This place exceeded every expectation. I am forever grateful for all I have learned and experienced at this volunteer placement. Thank you KPH! <3

The whole trip was amazing and life changing. The hostel was really cozy, rooms and bathrooms were nice, food good and the whole enviorment and atmosphere was great! The group trip host Harrison did an amazing job to make sure that everybody felt included and had fun. It was nice seeing the grass we planted grow so that we felt like we actually made a difference. Just a 10/10 experience
