    Description

    Hello everybody,
    Our backpackers is located in the beautiful Northern Drakensberg of KZN South Africa. We have a myriad activities for you to get involved in relating to the backpackers lodge and many opportunities for you to help in our local communities. Including events like our Easter and New Years Eve Festivals. Willing helpers can assist with preparations as well as get involved with community workshops held over the days leading up to the events. We also have a home work club for local kids and a big organic garden to work in.

    At the moment we are looking for people who can help with organic gardening, assisting with building bottle walls and preparing for our Easter Festival - also anyone who can help us with improving our Social media, website and sorting out our IT.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    South Africa is a country that represents a large variety of different people. Our backpackers is deep in a traditional Zulu area where poverty is a major issue. By working at the lodge people from the first world often leave with a greater sense of what they ACTUALLY have, not only in terms of material wealth but also in terms of education, health and security.
