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.

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. There's a lot of different projects to do and help with :)

Mulala the reserve Sanctuary has meant the start for me in becoming an actual conservationist. Once I set foot in this little paradise, numerous doors opened to me. Amanda, her family comes as a source of inspiration, love, openminded thinking. During my short stay, I was able to get my PADI licence and enter an entirely new space underwater. The people, volunteers this family attracts amaze me with their personality & determination in creating a better world. Anyone eager to explore, feel enriched, reinvent itself - this is where you belong. That said, I'm forever grateful.
