First Abroad has been so dependable! I booked my trip with First Abroad and they have been nothing but helpful since that has happened, answering any questions I have quickly and thoroughly and I would recommend this company to anybody!

glad I booked through them My only comment would be to inform people about the whole tour rather than just one week out of 3. Might have paid a little more for the whole package.

First Abroad is DA BOMB I've been in contact with First Abroad for the past 8 months in regards to the AbsoluteOz program and they have been nothing but helpful and supportive. They have guided me through every step I've taken and made this process as easy as possible.

A fantastically worthwhile volunteer project - lots of kitten cuddles too! I spent a month at this amazing Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa that I found through First Abroad's website. Naturally I was worried about going, it was my first trip away without my family and I was planning on doing it completely alone.. eek! Thankfully First Abroad were so welcoming and made me feel really at ease.. apparently lots of people were as nervous as I was (although I think that's just them being polite) They put up with my endless questions and prepared me so well before I went away. I found the info in my online account really helpful as well, especially the Kit List as I had no idea what to take with me! The Sanctuary itself was a wonderful experience, exactly what I was after. A really hands-on project with a huge variety of weird and wonderful animals that you're able to get up close and personal with. I was even lucky enough to hand rear a Serval Kitten (google them, THEY'RE SO CUTE!) I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Was the best experience of my life!

BEST Q/A WITH THE TOUGHEST DECISION 'DO WE SEND OUR DAUGHTER ABROAD'!!! I had looked thru the pages and pages of information on the internet and spoken with many families over the past year about a 'GAP' year. This program appears to have answered every question. I didn't want a gap of get-a-way fun for a whole year. This program offers the best of all worlds (no pun intended). My daughter wants to travel and become a teacher. She will have 11 months to be an assistant and work (which is key to me for responsibility) and learn and grow. With the vacation times during the 11 months there will be some fun and travel, I'm sure it is the answer the the next best move God had in store for us. Thank you so much Kevin.
