Great communication throughout the entire experience. GoEco was available to answer all questions prior to travel and assisted with issues that arose on-site too. They were in direct contact with the local team to share up-to-date information. My experience with the Dolphin Project in Ischia (9/18 - 9/24/23) was very memorable, not only due to the welcoming and accommodating crew onboard and fellow volunteers, but the behind-the-scenes staff at GoEco too. Also, although GoEco cannot promise Dolphin sightings, we were rewarded our 1st day out with dozens of these graceful and playful creatures. It was thrilling to see them up-close-and-personal in their natural habitat! Special Thanks to Carla and Barbara for all your support.

best experience, best memories, best people, best actions, and best impact. I hope to come back another time.

I was left overjoyed by my amazing time volunteering at Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage in Zimbabwe!
As soon as I arrived and heard the lions roaring, I knew I was in for a treat! Chipangali is the adventure of a lifetime for any true animal lover!
I was also lucky enough to meet Zoe and Carla from GoEco in person while I was there. They are both friendly and inspiring women and such a valuable part of GoEco!
The staff at Chipangali are very welcoming to volunteers. As a big cat lover, I am so grateful to Washington and Ahmad for their devotion to their carnivores! When they learned how excited I was to help with the big cats, they made sure that I got as much opportunity to interact with them as safely possible! I can’t thank them enough for their kindness!
The friendships made through volunteering at Chipangali are meant to last! The work was extremely satisfying, as you can immediately see the animals benefitting from your efforts. The whole atmosphere is wild and full of adventure. The excursions that we got to take to Matopos National Park and Victoria Falls were unforgettable!
I traveled a long way over four flights to volunteer at Chipangali, and it was absolutely worth it! I would happily volunteer at Chipangali again and recommend the experience to anyone considering it!

The experience was nice and it went without any problems. The goeco staff helped me through the process and they organized it very well, even booking the trip very near the date of start.

I spent a month in South Africa. GoEco was incredibly responsive and organized during the preparation time. They never appeared tired or irritated with my endless questions. After arrival, their staff brought me warmer clothes and a towel because I was not prepared for the weather. None of the other volunteers had such personal help from their agencies!

My only stresses were that the initial experiences with the volunteer site were not what I was expecting. Other volunteers had the same frustrations but they were with other agencies besides GoEco. This indicates to me that there is a bigger systemic problem than GoEco.

Two staff sat down with me and listened to everything and appeared to be open to changing some of the communication to make the experiences match up more effectively. I appreciate that immensely.

Everyone seems to fall in love with South Africa and I am definitely no exception!

The staff at GoEco were helpful and friendly throughout the process of organising our trip. Responses to our questions were always prompt. We found the use of Whatsapp very convenient and it made us feel like we were never on our own. Thanks to all of you, we had a wonderful experience volunteering in the Maldives!!

I had the best time I could have asked for. Before the trip, I had many concerns: about the location and conditions, about the people I would meet, and about working all day—but they all vanished the moment I arrived in Chipangali. The Wilson family, who own the place, made me feel at home. Ryan, Micky, Nicky, and Kevin were there for whatever I needed and gave me and the other volunteers the best feeling in the world - thank you so much for everything.
Working with animals is an amazing experience. You sometimes work with them and sometimes for them. During my first week, I had the opportunity to take part in monkey release back in the wild. It was an incredible moment to be a part of. Working in this place just makes you feel good. Even after two weeks away, I still have a smile on my face and can't wait to come back.
When I was there, I had a chance to join a trip to Victoria Falls, it was the best weekend I could have asked for, full of excitement and adrenaline, an incredible view of the falls, and so many stories to share back home.
I will definitely return to Chipangali and recommend it to anyone who might be thinking about it.
Thank you for everything and lots of love from Israel!

I can highly recommend GoEco and their volunteering programs. They offer a great overview of the programs. From day on one the organisation was smooth and easy and I was very well informed before hand.

GoEco is a trustworthy and helpful company that helped me smoothly plan my volunteer trip to Rescue Center Costa Rica. They were not only with us from the beginning of the trip with a Whatsapp group chat to make sure we connect with the volunteers and local staff at the center (e.g. for airport pick up etc.) but also throughout our volunteer trip. We could contact them with anything we needed help with, so you felt taken care of and safe. Something very generous they offered us while we were volunteering at the center, was they covered one transportation fee for each excursion we booked through the center, so our transportation cost could be reduced. I loved every moment volunteering and learning about the sloths at Rescue Center Costa Rica, making friends with volunteers from around the world, and learning about Costa Rican culture from the local team! I can't wait to return soon!

I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage in Zimbabwe for three weeks, and it was truly a life-changing experience. The Wilson family are some of the most dedicated and amazing people I've ever met.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into their home and made to feel like part of their extended family. It was clear that they have a deep love and respect for the animals they care for.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my time at the orphanage was the up-close and personal approach to working with the animals. Whether it was feeding monkeys or cleaning out lion cages, I was constantly amazed by the level of trust and connection that the animals had with the staff.

The experiences I had were nothing short of extraordinary. Getting to know the individual personalities of the resident animals, like the mischievous monkey named Jasper or the friendly lion Dash, was a privilege I'll cherish forever.

Overall, my journey at the wildlife orphanage center in Zimbabwe was nothing short of amazing. It was a blend of hard work, heartwarming moments, and an education in wildlife conservation that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. I'm grateful to all the dedicated individuals I met there for their unwavering commitment to preserving and protecting our planet's incredible wildlife.

Amazing experience! Very well organised and communication throughout was great. Would highly recommend.

The trip was amazing and a fantastic experience
It definitely is not for the faint hearted.
It is really hard work in extreme heat but so rewarding

Very secure and everything is take care of very easily, contact with everyone is easy (with go eco)
Cango Ranch in South Africa is an amazing place with an amazing staff. I would recommend to do an intership instead of a volunteer experience, you don't need any experince or qualification to do one. Everyone can pretend to an intership. You will do amazing encounters with the animals : snake, leemurs, cheetahs.. and the house is very cosy, as weel as the food is very good and hand cooked.

The two weeks were full of extraordinary experiences and adventures. You meet people from all over the world and work with and for wild animals. You have the opportunity to discover beautiful nature and get to know the everyday life of the people in Chipangali. One day you have monkeys, servals or squirrels climbing around you and another day you get up close to rhinos or pet elephants. The Wilson family is incredibly open and warm and takes care of all small and big problems. The most beautiful experience for me was the release of a hyena in a national park. I can only highly recommend the program and will always think back to it with pleasure.

I had the greatest experience with GoEco! I had a bit of a stressful situation as the local organization I was originally going to volunteer with was unable to accommodate for my request. It was no fault of GoEco. They actually were extremely helpful finding me alternative options that would best suit my needs! I ended up changing programs and I could not be happier with my decision. If I had one recommendation for GoEco it would be for them to include the local organization name with all their projects so that we can look up more info prior to booking. Aside from that thought they were extremely responsive, helpful, and caring.

The Chipangali program offers a very immersive experience of a zookeeper’s work. The living accommodations and hospitality are excellent, and there are plenty of chances to go on safaris and visit victoria falls! If you’re lucky, you’ll get to watch animals getting released into the wild! Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in working with animals.

This was my first time out of my home country and I travelled alone. GoEco and Chipangali both made it a very comfortable, easy experience. They both provided plenty of information on what I should prepare for and were supportive through the entire traveling and volunteering process. Chipangali really became my home away from home, even though I was only there for two weeks. I met the most wonderful people and saw places and animals I had only ever dreamed of seeing before! This experience was life changing. Both GoEco and Chipangali will forever hold a piece of my heart, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to go back if given the opportunity. Thanks for everything! 💛

It was an amazing experience, i had the opportunity to see turtles while laying their eggs! Sleeping in the forest for the first time was scary at the beginning but I got used to it quite quickly

The preparation was precise. I received all the information in advance and on time and this allowed time to organize. I received a quick and reliable answer to every question that came up during the preparation.
Your staff was very helpful and responsive.
All this contributed to the fact that there were no problems during the stay on the program.

Everyone was great and supportive and the GoEco team was always asking if I had any questions or anything to say and they were attentive with my transportation and evrything and make sure everything was okay!
