Amanzi Travel

I spent 3 weeks volunteering at the Namibian Wildlife Sanctuary and it was by far the best experience of my life! i have made friends for life from all over the globe who i still keep in touch with. The project was very valuable to conservation efforts to protect big cat populations in the wild, including Cheetahs and Leopards. I loved helping with the rehabilitation of all the animals at the sanctuary, especially babysitting the orphaned baby baboons overnight! Not only does N/a’an ku se support the animals in need, they also give back to the community by letting the volunteers help out at the school, built for the worker’s children, which was a very rewarding and unforgettable experience.
The Co-​ordinators and other volunteers were all very welcoming when I arrived and I felt at home immediately. The accommodation was great and the food was amazing.
The Amanzi Team are extremely helpful and I felt at ease throughout the booking process, having spoken to Gemma who was very informative from her own personal experiences in Namibia, and was able to answer any of my queries as well as give me many useful tips! The My Journey page on Amanzi Travel website is a very useful tool ensuring that all the important details about the project as well as personal details including insurance, visa forms and flight details are in one place making the whole process simple and easy to follow!
In addition, I went on the Namibia Dunes and Wildlife Experience Overland Trip which I would highly recommend to anyone who loves an adventure! On this trip I had a true African Experience and the flood lit waterhole in Etosha was definitely a highlight as well as sand boarding in the Namib desert. The tour guide was fantastic and all accommodation and food was excellent. Gemma was very helpful when booking my airport transfers and accommodation at Chameleon Backpackers!

I did the Southern Escape tour with Amanzi Travel and from beginning to end I found the service they provided exceptional. They answered emails promptly and politely, gave honest advice and I knew they were there for any back up which I might have (but didn’t) need whilst in Africa. The tour was amazing, miles better than I expected (and I had high expectations of it to begin with!), the food was great, staff friendly, knowledgable and professional. I can reccommend a tour with Amanzi whether you are a group of friends travelling together. a couple or travelling alone (you’ll make loads of friends very quickly).

I did 2 weeks on the Namibia Wildlife Sanctuary project and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone– I absolutely LOVED IT! Two weeks flew by and my only regret was not staying longer.
Amanzi Travel are so supportive, they seem to genuinely care about their volunteers and all my questions or concerns were answered throughout the whole booking process– such a great company. If you are planning a trip to Africa (and you should be because it’s just incredible!), Amanzi Travel are undoubtedly the company to go with!
I am already saving up to be able to go again with Amanzi– another volunteer project but with an overland trip next time I think to really make the most of it!
