Descrição
***PLEASE NOTE: You must read until the end to make sure you meet the criteria.
*** We interview all workaways for suitability.
Ons verstaan Nederlands!
Parliamo Italiano!
Our project is situated on a 1000-hectare nature reserve in South Africa. While here you will be surrounded by free-roaming game including hippos, leopards, giraffes, and zebra. Outside the fenced areas we occasionally have lions and elephants.
You will also share the space with our rescue dogs and we do rehabilitation and assess for workability. Many of our dogs come to us with aggression issues so please be aware that they are not your run-of-the-mill pets. You do need to be comfortable around dogs.
We are in the Lowveld area of South Africa which is warm all year round (especially hot in the summers) and you'll have tented accommodation. We are entirely off-grid, solar-powered, so we ask guests to be respectful and conserve energy where possible. While we love children, our dogs are working dogs and are not child friendly - we cannot accept anyone under the age of 16.
1. Garden work: we have around 500 trees to plant and two greenhouses that supply food.
2. Exercising of dogs.
The following are very important:
Please b e aware the transfer to our property from Hoespruit is R600.
If you don't like animals, this is not an appropriate workaway for you - we do not tolerate people hitting our dogs or hurting wild animals. Unfortunately, we have to write this due to past experiences.
You must have a reference.
Theft will be reported to the police and if you are unable to follow instructions we will have to ask you to leave (again due to past experience).
Respect our property, and do not vandalize or graffiti our home.

Acomodação
You will be accommodated in shared safari tents on wooden decks amongst the trees, overlooking the Olifants River. From time to time you will see lions, hippo, and crocodiles along the river bank. There is an ablution block with showers with hot and cold water and flushing toilets. The communal kitchen has fridges, freezers, and gas cooking facilities. In addition, there is free unlimited high-speed wifi (10MB up and 20MB down speed) but please be aware this is the African bush so speeds vary. You will sleep in a single bed and may share your tent with another workaway person.
Algo mais...
During your time off you are free to explore our game reserve. There isn't any transport to and from the reserve, but we do go to town once a fortnight where you can visit local shops and restaurants. We do trips to Kruger National park every 3 to 4 weeks for 4 to 6 days. Please let us know when you enquire if you are interested in doing a Kruger trip. On occasion we may go to conservation outreach programmes or community projects nearby - for these workaways must cover their own costs.
