The hostel will emerge you into the wilderness! Surrounded by the animals, you'll enjoy the tranquility and be in the heart of Africa. Being a volunteer in this establishment was a true discovery and a real pleasure to be part of their team for a short time. Rene and Devon bring the joy and make you feel confident and comfortable around and make sure you're enjoying your time far away from home. My time with them is full of beautiful memories and I totally recommend to come here !

Volunteering at the hostel was one of my best experiences! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and embraced by the entire team. The hostel is simply amazing, with a fantastic vibe. They offer everything and more than I could have imagined. Being a volunteer at KPH is like being part of a big family. I made friendships there that I know I will carry with me forever. If you have the opportunity to volunteer here, don't hesitate! I am grateful for every moment I spent at the hostel.

I had my first Worldpackers experience with this host and couldn't be happier. From the arrival, to the accommodation, the work itself, the hosts and the environment - it was a jackpot! I felt at home from the start, partly because the hostel is beautiful and well-maintained, and partly because the managers are real people of the heart. For my work as a social media volunteer, I had all the freedom I needed and could try things out - I was also not bound to a fixed schedule. My time there was like an Africa movie. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

The hostel was one of the most amazing volunteering experiences I've had so far (and I volunteered a lot before)! From having chill moments in the house to going on game drives - I had so much fun! The boys (Rene and Devon) became real friends. I even ended up going with them on a day trip thru the Panorama Route to take some pictures (I did social media for the hostel) and I was shocked at how South Africa can be so beautiful. They are also digital nomad friendly since the wifi is very good and still works even during load shedding. I highly recommend volunteering here!

Essa semana dúvida foi uma das minhas melhores experiências em um voluntariado. Mayra, Rene, Marion e Oliver nos acolheram como parte de sua família, não posso deixar de mencionar também os Staffs que trabalham com eles que são pessoas incríveis e maravilhosas. Sobre as tarefas, é algo muito tranquilo, o horário é respeitado e nada exigido além do que pedem. Eles oferecem alguns passeios locais, fizemos alguns safaris e te digo que vale ir em toda oportunidade, a natureza pode te surpreender a cada dia. Por fim, deixo aqui meu agradecimento e indicação pra esse lugar incrível maravilhoso. ❤️

Foi uma ótima experiência, perfeito como meu primeiro voluntariado internacional. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer muita gente, de falar muito inglês e pra mim isso é bem importante. A rotina é tranquila, apesar de acordarmos muito cedo, os passeios começam às 5h ou 5h30, então todos costumam dormir cedo e acordar cedo. Adorei o René e a Mayra, eles são incríveis. E o Robert <3, o guia do hostel, ele é um amor e sempre explica tudo com o maior carinho. Vou sentir saudades! O wifi não funciona no quarto, só nas áreas comuns, isso me dificultou um pouco para editar os vídeos e postar.

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you had a great first volunteer experience with us and we hope you keep going on this journey (it is a bit addictive ). Thanks again for the amazing content and help with social media — we truly appreciate it!
And haha yes, the Wi-Fi not working in the rooms is on purpose gotta keep that social vibe alive! But don’t worry, we’ve got a small workstation (screen, keyboard, mouse) or the classic poolside Wi-Fi if you need it!

we miss youu! beijuss

Foi uma das melhores experiências da minha vida, cheguei no dia 05/02 com meu avô e meus primos que vieram como hóspedes e amaram, foi muito bom ouvir dos meus primos que eles tem vontade de voltar e ficar semanas voluntariando aqui porque é exatamente o que eu senti quando me inscrevi e continuo sentindo mesmo agora indo embora. As tarefas num geral são bem tranquilas e basicamente cuidamos da louça e organização no café da manhã e jantar. Fora o fato de que me senti em casa e ganhei uma nova família, todos são incríveis, super acolhedores e vou sentir muita falta. Já pretendo voltar.

Um ambiente acolhedor em meio a uma natureza estonteante. Vivemos dias inesquecíveis no hostel, foi nosso primeiro voluntariado e não poderíamos ter escolhido melhor opção. A equipe foi super receptiva e tornou a experiência leve e prazerosa. A rotina de trabalho em ótima, pois lhe permite tanto contribuir com a hospedagem quanto aproveitar o lugar, tanto o ambiente do hostel quanto os arredores do Marloth o hostel. Poder participar dos tours e Safáris é um adicional incomparável, nunca esqueceremos. Por fim, a equipe Mayra, Rene, Martin e Anne são pessoas maravilhosas! Obrigada!
