A dream come true and an adventure beyond our dreams. Spending our 42 wedding anniversary wildlife volunteering, was a fantastic memory made! The team on the ground has been amazing sharing their knowledge and their passion for conservation.

My experience in one word...’ Brilliant’ What I enjoyed most about my Volunteering holiday, was being part of a program to protect endangered cheetahs and ensure their health and well-being whilst at the centre. The accommodation, meals, transportation and practical assistance was all very good and I would highly recommend Themba Travel.

I enjoyed learning about the conservation project’s efforts, and day to day activities which further improve the wellbeing and lives of the cheetahs. I also enjoyed having hands on experience helping, by assisting when the vet was on site, as well as with feeding and enrichment building for the animals.

We were so well taken care of by all the members of the Themba Travel team. I particularly liked our guide Nick, who was knowledgeable and made the game drives very interesting. We saw 3 out of the big five and many other beautiful and fascinating animals. Still, I also appreciated and loved learning about the birds, tracking of animals, the medicinal value of plants in reserve
