A very cool experience! The tasks were always communicated very clearly and weren't too difficult. Daniela is very nice and very committed to the animals and their wellbeing.

Daniela is very nice and works very hard. The animals are cute and well treated, I liked preparing food for them. The work is not too demanding but someday the weather is really hot and there are quite a lot of mosquitoes. Thank you Daniela for taking care so well of these animals ☺️

I had a great time at the reserve, everybody was nice, welcoming and helpful from the start and I felt home right away. The tasks are easy, preparing and distributing the meal for the animals and it was fun and instructive being a part of it. The afternoons and weekends are free so you can go to the markets or explore the beautiful nature surrounding Santa Cruz. I would absolutely recommend spending your time there!

It was a good experience (my first one), everyone was nice, I had a great time. I'd 100% recommend it for anyone who loves animals. The only thing that I think could be improved regards the facilities that we had in the shelter. The rooms could've been cleaner and the shower could've worked better. Except those two things, I had a really good time !

Our experience at See the reserve was very rewarding and fun. We feel like we were able to contribute to the ongoing wellbeing of the animals by getting involved with projects to repair and enhance some enclosures. The animals are very well cared for by the team. It was a lovely week surrounded by great people and beautiful animals.
