It was an excellent holiday. Amazing friendly and knowledgeable staff. To get the most out of it, have an interest in conservation issues and be prepared for early mornings with a few hours hard work and quite a bit of free time during the middle of the day. The personal payoff in terms of having multiple bush walks and drives with experienced guides makes it great value for money in my opinion.read more

The staff and guests were great. We had a lot of fun together. I loved hunting the lionfish and having a mission with every dive. We also got insanely close to some nurse sharks during our last day. The island is so peaceful. swimming out to SpongeBob Island was also quite memorable. The island is on a coral reef, so you could pretty much dive anywhere anytime you wanted. The boat rides were only 3 to 5 minutes to other dive sites. read more

A fantastic experience. The time with the cheetahs and baboons is of course very special, but above all it's about being part of something with a bigger purpose! Flying down to Neuras with N/a'an ku se founder Ruedi Van Vurren and hearing about the wider work of the foundation. A unique experience, well worth every extra penny.read more

Great experience. We saw and did lots. The food was great and we were well prepared/looked after. And we could really see the difference we made. Plus we did a 2 day safari! Incredible! The people! Everyone in Tanzania was so smiley and kind. It was great fun waving at all the kids and getting to do something practical as a gift for families. They were so grateful and it was quite humbling. Also seeing the mother and baby clinic was great. The charity pays for the midwife and it’s made a real ...read more

It was a holiday of a lifetime for all four of us. It was rewarding, humbling and inspiring experience all in one. It was great to work together as a family, and work with other families and volunteers, and get to know them and enjoy the experience all together. Graham and Claire were amazing too, and hugely contributed to making the trip so special for us. They are amazing individuals and inspiring to work with and get to know. Together they are making such a positive impact in the local ...read more

This has been one of my favourite holidays and has really sparked an interest in trying other volunteer experiences. There were so many memorable and exciting parts there is no way I could narrow it down to one!

The most challenging, most exciting, most rewarding and most memorable family holiday we have done. Thank youfor this incredible blessing. Encounters and relationships with people: Claire and Graham and the local team of builders, teachers, the children, the women in Rehema and Sister Miriam at the Maternity Clinic. And we loved Kahawa and Pudding (the dogs). Travelling: through Kenya, the Rift Valley, bouncing around in the Land Rovers, the endless plain of the Serengeti, the incredible ...read more

Excellent. Great if you have active teens looking for an adventure that does good. Finishing the goat shed, watching our lads challenging the local lads at football, watching the sun set from Eagle rock, and watching my two teens bond with other teens, come off wifi and step up to the work! Many vivid memories made in a great group atmosphere on this working holiday.read more

There is so much to choose from!!! If I had to pick one thing it would be the people- the local Tanzanians, the in holiday support (who we couldn't live without) and the other volunteers who were there at the same time. The best thing we have ever done!!! We can't wait to go back!read more
