The place, the people, and everything the lodge promotes are incredible 💘 I felt right at home. The landscapes are breathtaking, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the energy is absolutely beautiful. Thanks, Alen, for teaching us and for your patience. Milica, I'm going to miss your meals 😍 And thank you so much, Tamara and Dimitri, for giving us this opportunity 🌸 Highly recommended!

The lodge is the perfect experience for anyone who loves adventure and nature. The Tara River, with its crystal-clear waters, makes the setting unforgettable. Volunteer tasks are light, and in my free time I enjoyed rafting, canoeing, biking, and even spotted a wild bear! A truly unique opportunity I recommend to all outdoor lovers.

My time at the lodge was incredible! The place is ideal for those who want to disconnect and enjoy nature (BEAUTIFUL nature!). The work was cleaning and maintaining the campsite and rooms, as agreed. We were able to go rafting, hiking, swimming, and also get plenty of rest. We made special friends from different parts of the world and we will cherish everything! I truly recommend!

My experience at Kamp the lodge was incredible! the lodge is located next to Tara River, far away from any town, but the nature surrounding is breathtaking! All the people I met there are super nice and friendly: the owners, the staff and the other volunteers. I made many new friends! 🫶 Special thanks to Milica how taught me traditional Balkan food, Jakša mi amigo and official translator 🤣, Jose and David for showing me your passion for rivers! I loved having the chance to go rafting, canoeing or simply going for a quick swim in the river. Ps: the internet hardly works, get a Bosnian simcard ✌️

I had a great time at the lodge! The work was easy, flexible and the conditions previously agreed were respected. It was easy to get to the meet point where Tamara and Dimitri (the hosts) picked us up. Staff and volunteers were great and we had a lot of fun together! Food was really good, we were always looking forward for the next meal 😅 we also got the chance to try the tours they offer, which was amazing! We are already missing our days there 🥲 huge thanks you all for everything, especially to Jaksa, Miki and Pablo who were super helpful and made our stay even more special 🫶🏻
