Volunteer Testimonials: July - October 2024
(no comments)
Many wonderful people from all over the globe have been involved in our very popular Kariega Volunteer Programme through the years. Each volunteer makes a significant contribution to both our conservation and community projects during their stay. Kariega Game Reserve and the Kariega Foundation are immensely grateful to each and every volunteer who give up their time and energy to uplift and make a positive difference while having a great time. Here are some lovely testimonials from some of our wonderful volunteers who joined us from July - October this year and sharing their experiences.
"My time here has been full of new experiences. Meeting new people, seeing wild animals and helping within the community. I have learnt to be grateful for everything at home and gained skills that will last me a lifetime. Thanks to you, this time will be unforgettable & I will hopefully see you again in future!" - Carlotta Diester from Germany, 1 July - 15 July 2024 (3 weeks).
"Last year I was here on the reserve as a guest... But I wanted more! I wanted to get to know the other side of South Africa. The commnity side of life and learning more about the animals here on the reserve. These 2 weeks here have shown me so much more! The people here give so much and have so much love and kindness in their hearts. I felt how grateful they were for what we are doing. It’s so nice to see that you can really change something, it was all so positive. My highlight was to put a tracking collar on a lion, in my dreams I couldn’t have imagined doing that one day. A ONCE IN A LIFETIME MOMENT! I am so grateful to have met all of you, your work is so important. Keep up the good work and we may see each other in the future again. I have so much respect for the people here at Kariega and in the community. It was an honour to be part of this. South Africa made a change in my heart." - Betty Schwope from Germany, 23 September - 07 October 2024 (3 weeks).
"What an experience, a truly eye opening two weeks spent here. An amazing crew, friendly, talented and understanding. The reserve is beautiful and each and every animal within it. The people within the community are so full of light and love, it really makes you grateful for what you have. Will definitely be coming again!" - Emily Gardner from the UK, 1 July - 15 July 2024 (3 weeks).
"Thank you so much for everything! The three weeks have been an amazing experience. I am so grateful for all the kind and inspiring people I met. I have learned so much from all of you. Everyday has been great. I have just been happy with you. I loved spending time in the community and the reserve. it was great to see all of the animals and getting in touch with the community of events like the Rhino Run. Everybody is doing such a good job here!" - Zoe Klietz from Germany, 9 September - 30 September 2024 (3 weeks).
