GoEco - Top Volunteer Organization

I absolutely loved my time on this project. You get to be so close to wild animals, in their natural environment. the ecosystem is thriving in the Maasai Mara so you can expect to see lots of them, all the time. My favourite wildlife encounters, ranked: Cheetah successful hunt, 2 male giraffes fighting over a female, lion pride taking a morning walk and cubs playing. Of course there are many more but these were the most special. On top, the local team staff was amazing, I really bonded with the project coordinator and can proudly say we are now friends. :)

This fully funded volunteer trip was one of the best experiences of my life. At 16, I never imagined working with people from different cultures and learning so much about responsibility and teamwork. Everything was well-organized, and I felt supported every step of the way. This experience truly opened my eyes and changed me in a positive way. I highly recommend it to any young person – it's more than just travel, it's the start of something amazing.

Teaching proper healthcare and hygiene techniques and interacting with the school children in the community was so much fun and a very fulfilling experience. Also, getting the chance to observe how healthcare is practiced in another country was incredible, and being able to witness live surgery up close was absolutely amazing. Lastly, getting a chance to meet open and spontaneous people from all over the world was truly incredible and I made many friends with whom I will keep in touch with now that I'm back home again!
