Pmgy Wildlife Reserve Volunteer In South Africa

Meals

During your volunteer trip to South Africa, volunteers will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals are aimed to be as varied as possible across the week so that each day is different. For example, the breakfast consists of cereals, bread, butter, jam, peanut butter, tea, coffee and cheese. However, sometimes the reserve serves eggs, sausages or baked beans. In other words, it can vary and also be a combination of the above from time to time. As for lunch and dinner, the reserve provides a wide variety ranging from burgers, chicken and macaroni cheese. This extends to vegetarian dishes, chips, potato casserole and so on (so you definitely won’t go hungry!). Finally, all meals come with a salad option as well. Please note that all meals are served at the Mafusa dining area. Above all, no cooking is allowed in any of the kitchen areas.

Accommodation

Volunteer House During your time on the South Africa volunteer programs you will live in one of our Volunteer Houses. This is located right in the middle of the reserve compound. The accommodation is basic but comfortable. Furthermore, it offers a friendly and lively atmosphere for international volunteers. You’ll be living with other volunteers from around the world, so you’ll make plenty of friends along the way. We will transport you via jeep to and from the accommodation for your volunteer work in South Africa. Volunteers will be transported to each volunteering activity on the reserve. This service is included in your Program Fee. You will be housed in either the Kubs Quarters or Mafusa Camp dorms. The dorms are single-sex dorms. Volunteers are provided with bed linen, cupboard space and a mini-locker safe to store any valuables. We strongly recommend that volunteers bring a padlock. Alternatively, they can often be bought from our small shop on-site if forgotten. Bathrooms are shared In a dorm-like form with a western-style toilet. In addition, hot showers are usually available. There are communal areas across the accommodation. They come with comfortable sofas, fridge space, books and tea/coffee stations to enjoy some relaxation. Wi-Fi is available (although intermittent) in the main lounge area outside of volunteering hours. This is a short walk from the volunteer accommodation. Volunteers have access to the swimming pool, tennis courts and entertainment room during downtime as well. Furthermore, a chargeable laundry service also operates once per week for all volunteer in South Africa participants. As a result, volunteers can hand over their clothes to be washed, dried and returned to them. Most importantly, the reserve has on-site security throughout. This includes around the accommodation compound and on the main entrance into the reserve.
