My first experience as a volunteer and I couldn't have been luckier. The place is incredibly beautiful, immersed in nature, with life everywhere. The facilities are good and cozy. The staff is engaged and extremely welcoming. Extra activities at the hostel and also the possibility of several tours. There is environmental awareness and a real concern for the animals. Thank you for everything the hostel and team, you are incredible and have become my new home in South Africa. I hope to see you again one day! 🇿🇦✨️

My stay at the hostel has been absolutely wonderful! Everything about it is amazing; the location close to the hostel, the warm and friendly people running the place, the amazing animals, and the hostel itself is also super nice and cozy. I had the best time there. I felt super welcomed instantly and the work felt more like chores at home than actual work, so very chill and you had fun doing it with the other volunteers. You also get to go on exciting game drives and other amazing tours, which are once in a lifetime experiences. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have chosen a better place! I spent 6 weeks volunteering, and the time flew by so fast. Big thanks to the staff for everything! The place is truly amazing. It's so cool to live among all the animals that pass by the hostel every day. Every night, they cooked the best meals, and many evenings ended with watching the sunset with all the guests. The tasks were simple, and the working hours were easy. You get enough free time where you can join a safari or go on one of the day trips they organize. Can't recommend this place enough!! :)

From the moment I arrived, this hostel felt like a true home away from home. A huge shoutout to Mayra, Rene, Marion, Oliver, Robert, and Trudy for their warmth and superb hospitality throughout my stay. Mayra gave me complete creative freedom, allowing me to work on my own terms, which I truly appreciated. The flexibility made the experience really enjoyable. On top of that, the activities and tours organised by the team were absolutely fantastic—well-planned, exciting, and a great way to connect with other solo traveler's.

My time at the hostel was incredible. the staff is very kind, their energy and the energy of the place is really good. being in contact with nature all the time, dealing with your own inner self is very precious. it's kind of a lazy life, precisely because it's in the middle of nature hahahahah, so you have a lot of time to think about everything inside you or develop some habit you've been looking for. the work is very chilled and fun, clearly because the staff are very kind and nice. i loved meeting them, it was one of the best times of my life. it's forever in my heart! ❤️

2 weeks at the hostel have exceeded my expectations. The place, opportunities & people I met along this experience had a tremendous impact on me. As a filmmaker, I was given the chance to create content - little did I know, it would inspire me in such a way, that I'm now starting rich initiatives to engage my audience further. The culture & natural immersion KPH offers, will feed your perspective in many ways. As I return to CT, I feel blessed with yet another powerful insight, that will feed my purpose in the long run. With special thanks to Mayra, Marion, the whole family 🙏🏻.

I had the best 3 weeks at the Hostel. It's an awesome place the Family has created. A little Oasis in Marloth the hostel. Everybody is very welcoming from the first second on. I loved the work in the hostel and the interaction with the guests. All of them are open for new ideas and you can get creative. The work is not hard, and after a short time you become friends with everybody so I always enjoyed helping with everything. The Tours that the hostel offers are a very nice bonus so you can see and explore the surrounding. Long story short I loved it and I would do it very time again.

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel, it's an experience I can recommend to everyone 😊🙏🏼The hostel is run by a family who poured so much work and love into the place, you will feel at home right away. Everyday lots of animals appear next to the pool. The tours you can go on are so fun. In the evenings everyone has dinner together and playing games after. The work is divided into shifts between the volunteers. Mayra or another volunteer will explain everything you need to know. Everything is manageable and you will have lots of free time as well. 🫶🏼
