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!

What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience
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.
Go for it ! Push yourself out of your comfort zone and if no one wants to go with you, go alone because you’ll meet the most amazing like minded people. It will be the experience of a life time.
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.
