A special and unfergetable experience
by: Jacinta Jonetzki - GermanyProgram: Eco Ambassador Program | Garden Route & Karoo | South AfricaI really enjoyed the time here. We did a variety of tasks so that it never became boring. It was great to do something completely different from the daily life. For me, it was super interesting to get so close to the animals and learn a lot of new facts about them. It is something totally different to see what is behind the things you get to know as a normal tourist. All in all, I would say that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a fantastic experience that I will never forget.

There were a couple more experiences like these, and I think that i...
