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.

Supportive, adaptive, efficient and wonderful best way to describe First Abroad. As a parent of a world traveler, my nerves have been tested a few times. My daughter has just returned from a trip to S. Africa arranged by First Abroad that was fabulous. Last minute, I had some misgivings about her traveling by herself to S. Africa and called First Abroad. Leah was a godsend, she helped me get some last minute travel changes in place that made the trip for both my daugther and myself an even more memorable trip. Thank you, Parent of a world traveler.

I honestly had the best time and would … I honestly had the best time and would recommend them to anyone! The accommodations, the trip itself, the people... I will never forget this amazing experience

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!

Time of my life I just want to thank Leah and First Abroad for the most amazing trip of my life! The only thing I disliked was the fact that I didnt book the 4wk instead of the 2wk. Leah was there for me all the way until the day before I left. She was always quick to respond and was very informative. I will definitely be booking another trip soon! Highly recommended! *Colby
