Lama-Oase

You will learn about the character of different animals and you will learn a lot about yourself! It is important that you believe in yourself and that you want to be the boss in front of the animals.

The farm is run by Sabine and Manfred. We live here since 2012 and had already many volunteers to help us. We treat volunteers with respect , but we expect full respect of our animals and our lifestyle, too!

At first, it can be a bit challenging if you're not used to being around animals, but over time you build a beautiful bond with them. The tasks included feeding, grooming, taking the animals in and out of the pens, catching llamas (fun and tricky!), and going on walks with them. The food was delicious. There are forests nearby for walking and bikes available to explore nearby towns. A very special experience—perfect for nature and animals lovers.

I traveled with my friend and my girlfriend and we had a life changing experience. First days can be tough, especially if you don’t have any experience working directly with animals, there are lot of things to learn but it’s an impossible task. Day by day you earn confidence with all the animals so don’t be afraid of them, they are friendly and loving. We got to know each personality and we bond a lot with some of them. If you are vegetarian Manfred’s cooking is not for you. But, Sabine’s meals are delicious! Go to Lama Ose! Is a nice experience to be down to earth & appreciate countrys life

Sabine and Manfred cook deliciously; you always have access to the kitchen to prepare your own food if you want to. The tasks you need to do are feeding the animals and truly taking care of them—it's a learning process, especially if you don't have experience. They respect the established schedules. All the animals are beautiful, and you grow attached to them very quickly. Flip flops are necessary to wear inside the house

I was at Lama Oase for three weeks, but I had so much fun it looked like just a couple of days.
Volunteering here is a great deal to deeply connect with nature, but also to immerse yourself in Bavarian culture: Sabine and Manfred brought me very often to folkloristic parties where I had the opportunity to speak a lot of German.
Tasks are easy, shifts are respected and falling in love with their animals is so easy!
Last but not least, Manfred’s cooking was exceptional.
I definitely recommend this experience and hope to come back as soon as possible.

My experience at Sabine and Manfred's farm was peaceful and full of personal reflection. Although I came as a volunteer, I received much more: a cultural exchange, kindness, and patience. The farm, surrounded by animals and nature, is the perfect place to disconnect and gain clarity. I felt very welcomed by their friends. Manfred’s food is delicious, and his apple liquor is absolutely 🤯. Would I recommend it? Of course, I absolutely would! I would love to return if I have the chance!
