I get very good info and response of all the questions I had. I never get bored a single day. There was a lot of new experiences and adventure every day.

Incredible experience
November 12, 2018by: luke - United KingdomProgram: Internships and Volunteer Programs in AfricaI had a fantastic experience, there wasn't anything that the staff didn't want to help with and the guides were amazing at their job. I feel that with a few simple changes the experience would be even better. Improve lounge area to make a better social and comfort area. Base alcohol consumption on age.
Short but sweet
