My experience at the shelter was truly wonderful. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and having the chance to interact directly with wild animals is simply extraordinary. I learned so much about their behavior, needs, and the importance of protecting them. It was also great meeting other volunteers from around the world! It's an unforgettable adventure that has left a deep mark on me—something I will always carry in my heart with gratitude and joy. There are a few improvements to be made, but overall I am very satisfied with the experience. I'm gonna miss Uganda so much 🥹

My time at the shelter was a once in a lifetime experience that I think back on fondly. You get to have so many cool, close interactions with the animals and learn so much about them. I even got to see people conquer some fears, which is such cool growth to witness. I really loved getting to spend time with/getting to know the local staff who also work at the shelter. They were so welcoming. They're actively doing construction to expand as of my time there and I look forward to see how the shelter keeps growing in the future!
