One of the best volunteer experiences I've had! My time here was nothing short of amazing - getting to connect with the animals and land, living with other the reserve volunteers in such a lovely cottage, exploring the surrounding areas, having campfires and family dinners, I could go on! David and his family were so welcoming from the very start and always checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. The work is fun and varys day by day and depends on your skillset and how many volunteers we have at the time. Overall I really enjoyed all the tasks I did and the overall flow of it all.

Riley and I really enjoyed our time at the reserve. David, Joe and Dan were all very accommodating and made our stay comfortable yet rewarding. We didn't have too much prior experience to this but they were very patient in teaching us new skills. We stayed at a cozy cottage with an amazing view, and it was the reserve to be greeted by animals every morning. There's lots to do near the reserve as well on days off, and tons of nature to explore. Highly recommend!

Thats been my first experience with Worldpackers and i am really grateful for the past few weeks! My daily tasks included feeding the animals, cleaning the enclosures and the reserve, but also staying in the shop and welcoming guests. You'll live in a very cozy cottage with other volunteers. It's such a quiet and calming place to enjoy nature and animals right next to the reserve. David, Yosef and Daniel (running the reserve + cafe) always make sure, that you feel comfortable and welcomed. Gonna miss your jokes, but also the deep talk and the amazing food (🍪!) and River and and and...
