What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience

Don’t hesitate! Just do it! I read reviews before doing this project and I was a bit nervous but it was absolutely the best experience of my life! Made lifelong friends, saw incredible wildlife and visited such a beautiful part of the world. The working days are quite short but you can be quite tired working in the sun so I wouldn’t worry about being bored. I always felt very safe, secure and comfortable. The food was incredible and I would absolutely recommend to do 4 weeks if you can. 2 weeks is far too short but it’s so hard leaving after 4 weeks! Book that trip, you will never regret it!

If you are looking for an adventure that changes perspective then sign up with IVHQ. My trip to Africa gave me a chance to view and engulf myself in an unfamiliar culture. I am so glad that I took the chance for such an educational and life changing experience.

I learned so much about the local wildlife and culture on this program. I was also pushed past my comfort zone at some points which allowed me to grow as a person.
