Life changing experience

Volunteering at the VMF was absolutely amazing!

I went as a solo traveler not knowing what to expect, but I was warmly welcomed by staff and volunteers who quickly made the VMF feel like a second home. Everyone was very willing to teach/ lend a hand whenever needed!

I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain knowledge and experience with primates. Come knowing that it is hard work, but 100% worth it.

VMF also offers many opportunities that allow you to explore South Africa such as trips to Kruger park, day trips to the local lodge for a swim, panorama route.

If you are someone who does not tolerate heat well I recommend paying the extra money for a room that has electricity so that you can use a fan!

3 months flew by, and I cannot wait until I can come back to volunteer!
