    The saddest thing in life is not being able to do what is my true passion. I can not afford to volunteer. { I have contacted many rescues and reserves}. I have offered my services not as a tourist but as a way of life for the rest of my life. I had made offers telling of my love for nature and animals, and all I would require is food and a roof over my head. I am interested in long term and have been told by many that if I get my degree, then the cost is much less.{ honestly I gave up as I found all avenues were a dead end. } I am open to any advice you may have as I truly want this in my life. I have always had this passion but took another path in life; however I just beat a year and a half long battle with cancer and now healthy and strong again. I am still hoping there is some way I can do this.

  • @mishahubacek8599

    Ok.... im obviously not an expert, but this seems like an interactive zoo. If this was to help the animals shouldn't they be raised with no human contact and then released when they are old enough? I did wild cat volunteering in South Africa as well and that is how they ran their program. it seems like petting cheetahs and playing with them is making them into this organizations pets. This makes me sad. Releasing the cheetahs should be the priority, not "plan B."

    How long are you in George for? You should definitely do some hikes if you get the chance, the waterfall hike in Wilderness or St Blaize trail in Mosselbay which is all along the cliffs next to the sea. Or you could drive up the Montague Pass and do wine tasting at the top. Hope you enjoy it, really beautiful part of SA.

    +One World Two People pick what you want to do (animal vs community) then a country you want to explore afterwards, then go on their website, check it out and try find some reviews when deciding between them. If you like one we have done we can tell you our honest opinion on it!
