In the hostel I felt I was part of family! I had an intense connection with people, nature and myself! The time who works there is amazing! I had a great time there. The work is easy, and they are so flexible! For sure I will be back there!

If you are outgoing, creative and love nature, this is the vacancy for you and a wonderful team awaits you at the hostel, Rene, Mayra, Martin and Ennie, they are with you, helping you, laughing and sharing unforgettable moments, co-workers and friends for life. Going to South Africa always was a dream for me, and spending a month at the hostel exceeded all my expectations! A cozy place, in the middle of nature and with incredible people, where I made friends with travelers from different countries, took advantage of the safaris and developed many skills!

I had an amazing time. Rene and Mayra are the most cool and chill people. It is amazing how close you are to the animals and how you are surrounded by nature all the time. Also the deal is very good as you get stay, food and safaris completely for free. Big big recommendation!

Volunteering at the hostel was one of the best decisions I made! Mayra and Rene are really amazing people! They always make sure that you are feeling welcome and help you with everything. I rarely met anyone like them. As soon as you arrive you already feel like a family! I can recommend this experience with my full heart. Already miss them, lots of love🫶🏼

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing! Amazing place, surrounded by animals and nature, really quite and relaxing and I always felt really safe! At the same time, I got to know a lot of people, for all over the world, make friends and practice my english. Mayra and Renne really became friends (miss you guys) and work and learn with them was awesome! And last but not least, the experience of the tours and safaris that I went with them was amazing, a unique experience! Thank you for all guys, love my hostel (house) away from home!

I had such wonderful days at the hostel! It was my second experience with worldpackers and definitely the best choice I could have made. The work is simple and you can make the most of the place while you're there, as well as always being surrounded by nature and cute animals that come to visit. Mayra, Rene, and Devon are amazing, fun people and are always available to help with whatever you need. I want to thank once again for the opportunity, and I 100% recommend this experience!!!! ☺️☺️

This was my second trip with Worldpackers and it was my favorite! The word to sum it up is unreal, you live among zebras and giraffes it's absolutely incredible. I was lucky to be selected to paint for the hostel. I gave the best of myself and hope they'll be happy with my work. I obviously recommend this place, mayra and renee are really great!

This was a great experience that I will never forget. I have been received very warmly. The tasks were not difficult and you have a lot of free time. the safaris are great. Devon is extremely good at his job as a guide. René is very responsible and ensures that everything runs smoothly. If something is bothering you, there is always time for a conversation where René listens very well and tries to help you as much as possible. I highly recommend this place if you like working with nature, animals and people!
