Reunion with Daria🥳

Since we couldn't find a spot for kayaking with the seals on Friday morning, we had a very relaxed morning. The hotel owner's wife is probably from Germany or at least has some...

Reunion at the airport🛬

Honestly, I still lack a post about the previous week. Unfortunately, it's not finished yet because I'm currently having a hard time writing regularly. I thought it might be...

On the farm, we arrived around 3 pm, so I didn't do any lunch activities. Of course, I stayed in the same tent (😍) and was even greeted by the cat. However, I had a roommate...

Before lunch, we set off for Swakopmund. We are a very small group of 4 girls: Mila (who was with me in Neuras and Kanaan), 2 other girls from the Netherlands, and myself. The...

The journey back to Naankuse was dreadful😰 After we had been on the road for about half an hour, our driver stopped for the second time at the roadside. He got out, ran to a...

At 7 o'clock we started our journey back to Neuras. The drive was actually really relaxed and we arrived quite early. Then everyone had lunch here and after that, those who were...

I had to wake up at 6 o'clock because we were leaving for Kanaan. Extremely tired, I at least had a beautiful sunrise😍 The drive was actually fine, especially because we had a...

The trip back to Naankuse was terrible🫠🫠 it was way too hot in the car and we had to drive to so many different places in Windhoek to drop people off at the airport/hotel,...

The week here was really incredibly beautiful and I feel very comfortable here. My tasks in the past few days were the K9 training (as in Naankuse), washing and brushing dogs...

After breakfast, I went to the meeting again for about 15 minutes, and I think I would still get lost by myself 🥴 First, my group had to help unload a truck filled with fruits...

Two weeks are done🥳 the homesickness is slowly getting better🥹 This morning, us newcomers went for Outside Feeding to get to know the animals and the area. It was really cool...

Heute hatte ich keine Morgenaktivität, da ich packen musste. Nein keine Sorge, das Heimweh hat noch nicht gesiegt und ich gehe nicht heim. Ich verbringe die nächste Woche in...

Today was really relaxed. I skipped breakfast and didn't leave the tent until 10:30 am. We headed to the lodge at 11:30 am. The buffet there was amazing, finally some food like...

Endlich Wochenende… Wir wurden wieder in 3 Gruppen eingeteilt und ich hatte mal wieder Glück und musste den Baboon Walk machen. Das ist immer ziemlich entspannt. Nach dem...

Today we fed the little animals and cleaned the enclosures. It was actually a pretty relaxing affair. However, the weather isn't getting any better and it usually rains in the...

Unfortunately, it was drizzling when we started, so we went directly to the camp. On the way there, we saw a rhinoceros. The camp there is relatively cool, considering it's in...

I slept very badly🥴 last night it stormed and rained a lot. In the morning it was pleasantly cool, but of course it didn't last long. Today we had to dig up the soil so that a...

Week 1 out of 12 at Naankuse is done🥳🥳 Today we had to clean the enclosure of the wild dogs. That means picking up poop (Sorry mom, for doing this and even paying for it here,...

On Sunday, it was a very relaxing day. Since the work is voluntary, I took the opportunity to rest. On Monday, I had to wake up early to do research in the reserve. We used a...

My face didn't really get better, but the swelling keeps moving down. Nevertheless, I participated in the program as usual, and my group was really lucky because the tasks were...

Already on Thursday evenings, I noticed that my forehead was swelling a bit. I thought it was just from the sunburn on my forehead that I had gotten while gardening, but it...

As mentioned yesterday, we went to K9 Dog Training this morning. There, dogs are trained to combat poachers in reserves. The dogs were all very cute 😍😍 All of us were allowed...

After a relatively restful night, my alarm rang at 05:30 am😱 A small group of us volunteers left at 6 am to the Bush Camp (15 minutes away) to watch the sunrise from the pool....

Hello... I arrived safely in Namibia🤗 The flight from Frankfurt to Windhoek was relatively comfortable, but unfortunately I couldn't sleep much. At the airport, everything went...
