Volunteer with Children & Animals at DAKTARI

I had the most amazing time at Daktari. The staff and volunteers I met are so so special and will hopefully be my friends for life! The animals are so well looked after and the way we show the children how to look after animals is so vital for their lives. The impact that we can make on the local children is astonishing and all of the children I had the privilege of teaching always loved their week at Daktari - I hope I have been able to help the mission of educating South Africa’s next generation!

My two months in Daktari were incredible ! The animals, the kids, the staff members, all was good. I learned a lot about myself and about others, especially when I was with the kids. The excursions were very good, I have a lot of memories, especially with Thabo in the Kruger Park. I would like to thank the kitchen staff too because they always do delicious meal. This experience permitted me to go beyond my limits and to discover this beautiful country. I think theses two months get an impact on the kids because I learned them about the environment and animals.

The experience abroad is always something good, something that adds a lot to your life in all aspects. It was amazing to have the opportunity to work with children and animals at same project. An important point is the possibility of being in the project and being able to visit the villages and know about their culture and their routine.
