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

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel (even so that I extended it to a week long after the program :D ) The place makes you feel at home, the staff go beyond and above to do their very best, they are one of the friendliest people I've ever met and all so knowledgeable on the wildlife in the hostel and surroundings. The place where the hostel is located is very special because you get to see sooo many animals just by walking a few meters from it (or they even come to the hostel itself! ) It's like having the opportunity of doing a walking safari every!! I couldn't recommend this place more!!

Volunteering at the hostel was a dream! The team truly felt like family, and I felt at home with them. Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and affectionate. The food is delicious and the house is super cozy! I recommend it with my eyes closed

From the moment I arrived, the lovely, kind, and fun team at the hostel made me feel so welcome 💛 The volunteer schedule was well organized, so everything was easy to follow, and on my days off I joined tours organized by the hostel,such a great experience! I also met the most amazing volunteer family and shared so many happy moments together. Already missing this place so much… I hope to come back someday 🥹✨

I had an amazing experience at the hostel. I went on countless safaris, met incredible people, learned how to bake bread and rusks and learned even more about myself. I am very thankful for my time there and would definitely recommend it to anyone! :)

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
