Me he ido de the reserve súper feliz y con ganas de regresar, diario hay algo nuevo por aprender y por valorar, es un proyecto que merece mucha ayuda y atención ya que está creciendo mucho y con un gran propósito. Gerda, Kobus y Deon son personas adorables, muy inteligentes y proactivas, me recibieron como familia, siempre les agradeceré por ello. Pd: la comida es INCREÍBLE 🤭

Hi Abdel, It was our pleasure to be your host.
Thank you for your effort and the great work you did while visiting.
Yes, at the change of the season it is hot, humid with not sufficient rain to cool the area down.
We hope to see you again when you pass via Panama.

I felt welcomed from the start, I got food and time to arrive, which was very nice! Also I felt very well looked after. For example the first day, I worked a lot in the sun and the next day I was stationed somewhere else, because I'm not so used to the sun. The hosts also showed a lot of interest in my well beeing, asking how I was, if I feel good. The work varied a lot, Kobus and Deon made sure that I learned a lot new things, which were teached with a lot of patience and passion. Especially when Kobus told me about the plants and trees on the grounds. I felt so at peace at this place! Thanks

Admiration for this project that the family maintains with great effort and passion to promote respect for the species that have found refuge there, both plants and animals. I am very proud to have contributed a grain of sand to this oasis in the midst of so much deforestation. My most sincere congratulations and best wishes for your contribution to the environment.

Omar assisted in upgrading our electrical network and expanding our solar installation.
Omar brought his skills and took pride in his work. He made a huge difference and was a pleasure to have on the team.
Omar and Deon spend lots of hours in the hot sun on top of the roof and on ladders to get the project done.
We hope to see Omar again as a visitor to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Much appreciated Omar!

Kobus, Dion & Heather were really welcoming. The food was really thoughtful and was a highlight of the experience. We also really enjoyed the fresh mangoes from the trees and trying new fruits from the different trees. I really enjoyed our nature/project walks and felt like I learnt a lot. They were really keen to share information and it was really interesting. The tasks were physical, but varied so nothing was too challenging! We also got regular snack and water breaks. The working hours were fair and exploring Santa Catalina/Coiba on our days off were another highlight! Thank you!

My stay at the reserve Natural Reserve was truly amazing. Got to meet wonderful people and get in touch with nature. The hosts are very kind souls who are very dedicated to restore the local fauna. Didn't have the opportunity to meet Kobus in depth but he was very nice to me. Deon and Gerda are so nice and learnt so much from them. Deon made sure i didnt feel so alone as I was alone volunteering for a week and Gerda's cooking/baking is amazing. Will miss the reserve and Santa Catalina (specially the mangos and vetkoek hahah). Hope im back someday!

My stay at the reserve Natural Reserve truly was a great one! I stayed for about a week, and learned so much about the balance of nature and especially about the importance, and how to's, of maintaining and facilitate the local flora and fauna. The communication with Kobus both before, during and after my stay was really good, and they were flexible with small variations in the dates i had originally booked. The accommodation was good! I really enjoyed the closeness to nature, listening to the wildlife from the comfort of being inside my mosquito net. Would definitely stay again!

The experience at the reserve was amazing. I was received with open arms by the whole Family. Kobus, Gerda and Dion showed us so many things about nature, animals and fieldwork over the whole week, I learned a lot. We did different tasks every day. From collecting eggs to cutting wood and mending fences. I will miss the cooking routine in the morning and evening with the other volunteers and Dion and also Gerda's cooking at lunch. Thank you so much for this cool experience.

I felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived. Kobus, Gerda and Deon are such a nice host family with huge knowledge. It's an amazing project on their property, and I'm glad I could help. There are a lot of different tasks to do like watering trees, repairing the fence, cutting grass, feed the chicken, collect eggs etc. I had a really great time here and could learn a lot.
