Amazing trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 with our even more amazing tour guide Liezl. This trip has been the perfect mix of culture, excitement, laughter and new experiences! I loved and will never forget the safaris! There is an option in Hlane Royal National Park to do a Rhino walk and I would 100% recommend! You get out the jeep and walk up close, definitely do it!!! And our group leader sets a very high standard. Liezl is kind, extremely caring, funny, organised and will do anything for her guests!! You need batteries, Liezl literally ran to get them for me!! You not happy with something, Liezl will take care of it!! Liezl will make sure you have the best trip ever but she sets the bar high now for other guides! Thankyou Liezl for everything, keep being you and never change!! Would 100% recommend this trip! You will not regret it and will make memories for a lifetime!!

Meeting and getting to know all the other volunteers from over the world and getting to teach the grade 5s was my favorite moment. The impact my volunteering trip had on me was meeting the locals in Bali and learning about their culture and customs. Everyone is extremely welcoming and open to getting to know each other.

I had the most amazing time on this tour. Our guide Priya was the absolute best. She gave us amazing recommendations and taught us so much about Korean history and culture. I would 100% recommend this tour for first time travellers to South Korea
