I absolutely loved my time with Mulala. I truly felt like I was welcomed as part of the family during my time here. The work was fun and also impactful & insightful. Amanda is incredible for all that she has created with this project. Not only does Mulala prioritize conservation, but it’s also very important to them to give back to the local community. I also greatly appreciate the efforts that were made to help the volunteers have an authentic cultural experience while in Mozambique by taking us into the local villages and recommending things to do/see/try. I hope to be able to visit again.

A experiência foi incrível! Mergulhamos quase todo dia, snorkel ou cilindro, pra cuidar dos corais. Aprendi bastante sobre conservação! A acomodação é muito confortável e linda, na frente da praia. A comida é variada e boa. A família faz de tudo pra te incluir e socializar, fui muito bem cuidada e me senti parte da vida deles. Não existe contato com a cultura local.

I recommend this project to anyone’s who had the values of sustainability, community helping and sharing, even if your not a diver, like me.
