“Great adventures and exciting people!”

“The South Africa Experience was truly amazing - all very well organised and every accommodation we stayed in was great! Wasn't able to interact that much with the animals on the reserve as hoped but you can pay extra for activities to do this - really recommend the Cheetah Walk and Elephants! Best part for me was the Shark Cage Dive!! Also, Cape Town is beautiful shame we don't have more time there so would suggest staying a few extra days after the trip is finished!!”

“Just back from South Africa and I can honestly say I had the best 2 weeks of my life! What a beautiful country! Did so much in 2 weeks! Going on safari and seeing the Big 5, volunteering at the reserve, shark diving, bungee jumping, walking with cheetahs, exploring the jungles of the Tsitsikamma National Park, Hiking, exploring the Cango Caves, taking a trip up table mountain and visiting so many different places on the garden route! It was amazing! Met so many good friends and the Rangers and guides over there are all hilarious!”

“Absolutely amazing trip. The Thailand experience helped me learn about Thai culture and I made so many amazing friends, many of which I am still very very close with. Complete trip of a life time. I wish everyone could be informed about you guys and your trips. The tour guides are amazing too, definitely not how you imagine normal tour guides...they were even better than that. I was very poorly half way through the trip and Ben (one of the guides) took me to hospital and looked after me so well, which was amazing especially because when you're ill and away from home all you want to do is be at home. Everything that you get to do and get to be involved in is truly amazing too, especially for the price you pay. If you were to organise a trip like this yourself I know for a fact you wouldn't of been as well looked after as I was with this trip. The only tiny thing I would say as a downfall is the first accommodation you stay in at Bangkok...only because of the few cockroaches running around (but in the end they just became a part of the trip I guess) and the bathroom is tiny. BUT it all makes up for it when you get to places like Koh Phangan. Amazing trip, amazing people and an amazing feeling of safety too. If I could do it all again I would in a heartbeat.”

“SO easy to book and always someone at the end of the phone to help which was very useful. But did struggle a little when I got there as was not made aware of the name of company or person who would collect me at the multiple stops along the journey. The volunteering first week for really good, but second week we barely achieved anything. The person in charge was too relaxed and we always left way too late with no plan in hand until arrival whereby it was already half way into the schools day. But everything else was fabulous.”

“It was an excellent experience mostly because I met a lot of great people. I felt that the work I did was really worthwhile and it wasn't anything like some of the stories I've read about trips where the volunteers don't have the necessary skills so they end up doing more harm than good. I went for seven weeks which was enough time to get to know my co-workers and the family whose house we were building. So I would definitely recommend going for as long as possible. I would also recommend leaving maybe a week or two before or after the trip if you can, so you can do a bit of travelling. Because I didn't do this, I could only travel at the weekends so I wasn't able to go very far. I still had some fun weekend trips though.”

Thanks for your review Jonathan, it's great to read that you had such a brilliant time in Costa Rica. It's essential for us to make sure volunteers feel they have contributed and made a difference during their trip, and it certainly sounds like you did during the 7 weeks - Good job!

“Amazing over all experience! The 21 days were jam packed with activities and site seeing. We also had plenty of free time in the evenings and during our time Sihanoukville which meant we do things independently or as a group. If you weren't sure what to do in your free time the guides dimong (Didi) and Annette offered lots of ideas and were so much fun to be around. My group were so friendly and sociable and we all got on really well, Iv'e stayed in contact with most of them and plan to see them again soon :) The group had 18-26 year old's which was a great mix and Cambodia's people were so friendly too. Loved Seeing Angkor wat, the Silver palaces and the killing fields, it was so interesting and gave you an insite into cambodia's history. I also loved building a new house for a Cambodian family and visiting the New hope school, however felt slightly uncomfortable receiving a certificate at the end. When we were in Sihanoukville my group went to Koh Rong and swam with the luminescent Plankton! In retrospect i should have stayed in Cambodia for an extra week after the tour so i could have gone to Kam Pot so i would recommend that to anyone who is planning to go. During the tour there were some issues with our coach transfers- breaking down on route to battambang and Sihanoukville! However this was very unlucky and no ones fault. We made the best of every bad situation and turned it into something positive! the only criticism was some small details on the itinerary weren't true- for example you don't see the sunset at Angkor Wat. Overall brilliant experience and if you like to party Cambodia has lots of night life to offer!”
