The hostel combines everything you could want for volunteering. It's surrounded by amazing nature&animals, it's super cozy & the shifts are more than fair&accommodating. I learnt so much during my stay & got to experience so many new things - this place is easy to fall in love with. It can get a tiny bit chaotic at times, but that only adds to the charm. You'll find some of the nicest people working here, who love sharing laughs&stories & I truly felt like part of a family. I already miss the hostel&its people and would recommend it without any doubts.❤️

My stay here was truly amazing. The hostel is very nice and clean, and you get to meet people from all over the world. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. I went on several game drives and saw some of the beautiful animals and stunning nature that the hostel has to offer. The sunsets and sunrises were also among my favorite parts of the stay. The work was very manageable and fair, with clear expectations and a good balance between tasks and free time. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Essa semana dúvida foi uma das minhas melhores experiências em um voluntariado. Mayra, Rene, Marion e Oliver nos acolheram como parte de sua família, não posso deixar de mencionar também os Staffs que trabalham com eles que são pessoas incríveis e maravilhosas. Sobre as tarefas, é algo muito tranquilo, o horário é respeitado e nada exigido além do que pedem. Eles oferecem alguns passeios locais, fizemos alguns safaris e te digo que vale ir em toda oportunidade, a natureza pode te surpreender a cada dia. Por fim, deixo aqui meu agradecimento e indicação pra esse lugar incrível maravilhoso. ❤️

Foi uma ótima experiência, perfeito como meu primeiro voluntariado internacional. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer muita gente, de falar muito inglês e pra mim isso é bem importante. A rotina é tranquila, apesar de acordarmos muito cedo, os passeios começam às 5h ou 5h30, então todos costumam dormir cedo e acordar cedo. Adorei o René e a Mayra, eles são incríveis. E o Robert <3, o guia do hostel, ele é um amor e sempre explica tudo com o maior carinho. Vou sentir saudades! O wifi não funciona no quarto, só nas áreas comuns, isso me dificultou um pouco para editar os vídeos e postar.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you had a great first volunteer experience with us and we hope you keep going on this journey (it is a bit addictive ). Thanks again for the amazing content and help with social media — we truly appreciate it!
And haha yes, the Wi-Fi not working in the rooms is on purpose gotta keep that social vibe alive! But don’t worry, we’ve got a small workstation (screen, keyboard, mouse) or the classic poolside Wi-Fi if you need it!

we miss youu! beijuss

I cannot recommend this experience more! The whole team of Mayra, Rene, Truddy, Oliver, Marion, Robert, Ennie, and more were absolutely incredible. What a beautiful place to be for 5 weeks. I saw zebras everyday, and got to go on so many amazing free excursions. The work is very laid back and the hosts are super flexible. I feel KPH is the perfect place for volunteers that want to experience wildlife and make new friends in a beautiful corner of the world. You won't regret volunteering here!

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! 🇿🇦✨️

The hostel was an amazing place to stay and work at. All the people where so kind and fun to be around, made the experience wonderful! Being around the wild animals was a dream come true. The availability of game drivs and other fun activities was great and there was always something fun to do!! I really recommend.

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!

We loved sharing this little corner of the bush with you from the game drives with a lot of action haahaha. You’ll always be welcome back anytime, and we wish you many more beautiful adventures ahead! 💚
Safe travels and hope to see you again someday!

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!! :)
