Traveller Tales

«If any one wants to book a volunteer project I strongly recommend Amanzi travel. The service was excellent and i had an absolutely amazing trip to namibia. Thank you all at amanzi.»

Angela, UK, Naankuse Big Cat Conservation and Etosha Short Tour

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Thank you for your great support. Thank you for answering all my questions. Thank you for planning my volunteer trip and my stay at the N/a'an ku se lodge with all personal wishes that I have. Thank you for the best experience I had in my life until now! :) Everything was perfect and just the way I hoped it would be. The staff was very caring and friendly (at the volunteer camp and at the lodge). I learned a lot about African animals, endangered species, the bushmen culture and much more.

Someday I'll return to the sanctuary and I would always book the trip with you again.

Viola, Germany, Naankuse Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary

«Stop thinking about it and book it. The most amazing and wonderful experience of my life. Where else would you be able to sleep with baby baboons, walk with cheetahs and wake as the sun rises with the roar of lions beneath you. This wasn't a holiday if was a life changing experience. GO FOR IT !!!!»

Jeannette, UK, Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary

«Amanzi Travel helped me plan a really great experience for my first time volunteering. The projects were rewarding as well as informative and has made me appreciate what life is like in Africa for both humans and animals. Gemma was on hand right up until I left for my trip, even during Christmas holidays, answering no end of questions I had. I felt comfortable going into the unknown with Amanzi behind me incase anything didn't go to plan. I would especially recommend Amanzi Travel if its your first time as they have all the knowledge and experience to help you prepare for your big adventure. Thank you!»
