Volunteer in balule game reserve

It was such a rewarding experience!
It is a real immersion into the wildlife that allows us to challenge ourselves and to discover another way of living, fully in the moment.
I will not forget the amazing view on the olifant river where i could stay hours, watching the animals walking and drinking all the day long.

The lectures given by the local team are extremely interesting ! I've learned so much in 2 weeks! Much more than I expected: tracks, sounds of birds, way to behave with wild animals, problems of poaching...
The activities of conservation are truly amazing : cameras tracking, transect, roads… i felt a little bit like a baby ranger !
There is even a little tracking competition on friday, with pancakes made by the losers on saturday : what a motivation!
There is also a real implication in the life on the camp, which I really liked because it allows the volunteers to become friends more easily and to share more moments together. We were organised by team for cooking, dishes, datas, cleaning and it was really efficient !
The ambiance on thé camp was amazing, the staff is really here to help you and to make you enjoy the experience as much as possible.
To conclude, it was truly a Life changing experience, and i think i’ll think about it for a long time. It made me realise a lot of things about our way of living and thé necessity to understand more the nature and thé Wildlife even in our countries, and to not live next to it but with it.
