I felt super comfortable at the camp, right in the heart of the desert. From day one, they made me feel at home. Everyone was very kind and attentive. Romeo cooked for me every day, and the food was absolutely delicious. They were always checking in to make sure I was okay. Khan is a great person, we played Ludo several times, and I have to admit, he's the best at it! I had a wonderful time, full of peaceful moments, laughter, and great company. I highly recommend this volunteering experience if you're looking for something authentic. They give you the space to explore the surroundings.

We couldn't have started my trip in India in a better place. We had a great experience, better than we expected. We felt at home, I was greeted as another member of the family. Aablo is a very funny, very intelligent person and has a critical thought about everything and makes us rethink about cultures. Thank you Aablo and Noor for the days we spent together. We learned a lot about the travel and tourism industry, we have so much to learn from them. We hope to see you again.

I enjoyed staying at Abu desert safari. I felt truly welcome and my ideas were highly valued. Aablo is a very kind and generous host, he even dropped me at the train station in the city at 2am the day I left. This camp has a lot of potential and there is a lot that volunteers can contribute to here. I learned a lot and my favourite part was daily sunrises and sunsets from the dunes. Also loved getting to spend time with Ken the camel (I even got to name him🤩). Altogether it was a relaxed and lovely experience

Also wo soll ich anfangen… Erstmal das positive: -Ich habe die Safari umsonst bekommen -die Leute waren nett Negativ: Es war kein Projekt. Nichts von dem ist gesehen wie beschrieben. Ich musste nichts machen. Ich habe die Unterkunft für eine Nacht umsonst bekommen und am ersten Tag essen. Nach der Safari meinten sie, dass ein privat Zimmer was kostet. Es wurde sich halt auch überhaupt nicht gekümmert, nur immer gefragt ob ich glücklich sei. Ich habe insgesamt drei mal das Zimmer gewechselt und jedesmal war scheiße im Klo und nichts sauber (Flecken auf dem Bett etc.).
