Your Home Away From Home (with a Side of Adventure!)
As part of your volunteer donation, we'll make sure you don't have to sleep in a tree (unless you're a vervet monkey!). Your stay includes comfortable accommodation in our volunteer chalets, delicious meals, and access to our famous Honesty Bar... where the drinks aren't free, but your conscience is.
Our cozy wooden chalets are simple, comfortable and have all the essentials:
- Hot and cold running water (yes, actual hot gas showers!)
- Flushing toilets (you're welcome!)
- A private veranda with a kitchenette including a microwave, fridge and a small coffee station for those "I need caffeine before monkey duty" mornings.
Volunteers stay in shared chalets (maximum of three people, with male and female accommodation separate) or in our very homely farm house, if available, a basic private chalet. We provide all your bedding and towels, and our wonderful housekeeping team will clean and dust your chalet once a week, with fresh linen provided weekly. All you need to do is remember where you left your muddy boots.
When you're not feeding hungry wildlife, cleaning enclosures or making lifelong memories, you can relax at the lodge. We've got:
- A common area facility serving basic hearty meals.
- The Honesty Bar, complete with a dart board and a giant big screen TV for well-earned movie nights.
- Our dam, which is still under construction will become everyone's favourite place to cool off after a day spent chasing monkeys, carrying fruit, or wondering how one tiny mongoose made such a big mess.
Wi-Fi is available in the common room, so you can reassure everyone back home that you're still alive... even if the baboons stole your lunch.
Need a little more privacy? Private rooms are available for an additional daily fee, subject to availability.
A Little Thing Called Loadshedding...
You may have heard that South Africa occasionally enjoys a national game called Load-shedding—where the electricity takes an unscheduled holiday. Unfortunately, we can't predict exactly when it will happen, but don't worry, we've installed solar lighting so you won't be left stumbling around in complete darkness. Besides, it gives you the perfect excuse to look up and enjoy the incredible African night sky... and maybe hear a bush baby or owl saying good evening.
