Great Program!

I enjoyed the program a lot, learned a lot and already do recommend it to friends on a volunteer in SA page I made on Facebook, so no lies. I do not win anything with posting it there, so I only post programs I think are really good. Lots of different animals and a great group of people running the place!

African Dawn changed my life.

When I visited African Dawn, I was in my last year of high school in the U.S., and I was grappling with the desire to help the world and discover myself. I spent two weeks at African Dawn, but I never wanted to leave. Even in the short time I was there, it felt like home to me. I met the most amazing people and animals in the whole world, I was able to experience the kind of hands-on animal car work that I have always wanted to do, and I was able to participate in something that helps the world in a truly beautiful way.
The work is hard, but rewarding, and the people are amazing. The sky is huge, and the surroundings are perfect. I had so many life changing experiences while I was there... I'll never forget it, and I am so thankful to have had it in my life.
