My first Worldpackers experience and I had a wonderful 2 months with the hostel in Cape Town. My work here involved taking guests on hikes up Table mountain and lions head, as well as the Saturday market trip and taking pictures of the bar events in Randy's. You will work alot with Phil and Ashton, both of whom are very friendly and welcoming! They are also flexible and understanding if you need to swap shifts with other volunteers as you're also here to experience the city! I had an amazing time with the hostel and am very grateful for my time here, thank you ❤️

Volunteering at the hostel was an awesome experience! I helped out with tours and spent lots of time with guests and the other volunteers, it felt like we were a little family. The staff was also super welcoming from day one. There was a great balance between helping out and having free time to explore Cape Town. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, social place to volunteer!

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the hostel! Everything was perfect – the team was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Starting with the application process until the very end of my stay, everything was well organized. I truly enjoyed every moment and would 100% recommend it to anyone. It was the best first volunteering experience I could have asked for. Thank you for such a great time!

This was my first experience with worldpackers, and before I went I was very scared that I wouldn't find any friends or enjoy the work. Now, leaving Capetown in tears, I can look back on my 2 months here with so much joy and a lifetime worth of good memories. The people here, from the other volonteers to the staff, are all so welcoming that i felt at home from the first day. My manager was always flexible with my hours of work so that I never missed out on activities with friends, and I could really make the most out of my time here. I'd recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat.

If anyone is solo ,hesitant , scared to take a risk to come away to the beautiful Cape Town , the hostel (despite the name ) will offer you the most homely experience you could get ! . After my 2 months here I've never once felt lonely and felt so supported by the amazing team :) it has been the experience of a lifetime and I will never forget the people , memories and fun I've had here.
