I have submitted this review as a parent. My 18 year old daughter has just completed a 3 month stay at Daktari and it was an amazing experience for her. We recieved lots of help from the staff as we made the preperations and even though my daughter was travelling alone we felt confident that she would be well taken... More

Run entirely on sponsorships, and staffed by volunteers, this rustic little haven for orphaned animals deserves support. A blind donkey, naughty mongooses, a toothless leopard and some regal rooikat-lynxes add to the charm. More

Hello everybody, I was at Daktari from September 2011 to December 2011. It was a very great experience for me. I spent a very good time with all volunteers and staff. It's like a family ! The contact with children is magical. You can't imagine the happiness in their eyes when they manage to do a division or when they... More

Daktari gave me an opportunity to work with animals and children, see the beautiful wildlife of South Africa and experience life in the... More

One of the most fantastic experiences of my life! I truly felt I was one of the family - and have been welcomed back with open arms since as a guest, not a volunteer, over the Christmas period. Michele and Ian are very friendly, open and knowledgable and you feel you have entered a home - albeit a very different... More
