Reviews

Hannah Goldie, Aug - oct 08
Absolutely amazing, would recommend it to anyone. Four weeks, or in my case eight, is not long enough, would recommend going for four weeks and plan to extend when you are out there - it' worth it.

Emergency contacts list gave good sense of security to me and my parents before I left. Met a great group of people, most of whom had also organised their trip through real gap.

Good support once out there. Good to have someone to help arrange trips and activities once out there. helpful to have a kit list and orientation of what to expect before left the UK.

What an amazing experience in a truly beautiful area! It took me so long to pluck up the courage and finally go but the support once out there is so excellent I was worrying over nothing. Go with an open mind and grab every opportunity that presents itself and enjoy yourself.
Gaynor Hogarth, 03/09/07 - 30/09/07 
- Embrace the programme and have a go at everything, really maximise your time there and pack everything in.
- Ask loads of questions about conservation and about the animals, it's all so interesting.
- Pack a variety of clothes, footwear etc as the weather is pretty varied.
- Mobile phones work, even in camp, and there is an internet connection so it is easy to stay in touch with friends and family.
- Watch out for the spiders!
