Reviews for Volunteer with elephants in South Africa
Jane Stoyles review 1 Jul 2019
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Being so close to such amazing animals and being accepted by them. Preparing the enrichment birthday treats was fun and creative and then feeding it to an individual elephant was wonderful. Standing out in the field on a warm sunny day observing the herd , not quite such good fun at 5 o clock on a wet and windy morning but still very memorable!2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Take your own waterproof things ,in sensitive colours. We took too many every day clothes ,trousers and the t shirts provided are worn most of the time.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The experience certainly benefits the elephants and the scientific study. By eating in the local restaurants and visiting other places must benefit the local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
My husband and I ,both 66 years old had a great time ! The physical work was fine and we enjoyed the company of a real mix of other volunteers. Pick your time of year depending on how hot or wet you expect it to be. It was good!Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
