The Experience

We need your help around our daily life (farm, house, garden). If you like to cook, that would be great, too. Usually, you work from 8 - 11 with the animals (cleaning, taking outside) and then in the afternoon (feeding, taking animals back). Sometimes, we have visitors during the day. Walks with our dogs are highly appreciated! You should not be afraid of being around big animals like camels or horses because you will really take care of them.

I had an amazing experience during my 15-day stay. Manfred and Sabine are incredibly warm, caring, and attentive hosts. They take great care of the volunteers, always making sure everyone feels comfortable and welcome. The meals were delicious, and they shared wonderful conversations. The work with the animals and around the farm was meaningful and enjoyable, and the environment is peaceful and beautiful. I felt very safe, respected, and appreciated throughout my stay. I am truly grateful for this experience and highly recommend this place to other volunteers.

The farm is a great place for a first experience with animals. They can be imposing, so it's important not to be afraid, but you'll end up loving them. Sabine and Manfred are very kind and always willing to listen, and I appreciated how thankful they are to their volunteers. They also have pigs, sheep, and chickens for their own use, so if you're vegetarian or sensitive about that, keep in mind that they handle everything on the farm. However, they are very understanding and will let you take a break during that time. Despite this, I had a really fun stay and learned a lot from the experience

What an incredible experience! My trip to the lama farm was very last minute but Manfred and Sabine gladly took me in and quickly made me feel welcome. I learned so much and had several first time experiences (like brushing camels and driving a horse carriage through the forest). I also had plenty of time to relax and do what made me happy (like reading on the porch, walking to town, riding a bike, going out to the “disco” - thanks Manfred:)

I enjoyed every second of my time spent at Llama Oase. I loved caring for the animals, exploring the surrounding area & my time with Sabine & Manfred. I felt so welcome from the beginning of my stay & learnt so much throughout my experience on the farm. My knowledge of Bavarian culture, language, cuisine & lifestyle has expanded & it was so much fun to feel like a part of it. The animals are so enjoyable to be around & get to know. Definitely recommend!!

Sabine and Manfred were really nice, and spending time with other volunteers was amazing! Definitely got a great authentic experience of German culture with lots of nature and cute villages nearby, I definitely recommend walking to the bakery in Erlbach. :)
