This was my first time ever doing any type of volunteer work or traveling over seas! What an epic adventure this was to go experience South Africa and the elephants at Knysna Elephant Park. From beginning to end this adventure was seamless and smooth as silk. It was such a rich atmosphere to be volunteering with people from all around the world with similar interests. This program was well organized, friendly and very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at the weather and how comfortable it was and glad I brought some warm clothes as well since I thought it would be unbearably hot, but it was not at all, just very comfortable with realatively NO humidity which I was so thankful for.
