We had an incredible few days at the Matang wildlife centre. It’s very difficult to articulate how positive we felt about our experience but safe to say we loved it. The highlights were the group. We felt very lucky to be with people who were so friendly, like-minded and easy-going. The group chat is still going! A huge shoutout for Dom and Sam who couldn’t have been more welcoming and supportive during our stay. They are very special individuals and their commitment to the animals was inspiring. It was very humbling supporting the animals and, despite their stories being very sobering, it felt very fulfilling contributing a small amount to keep them happy, healthy and safe. Our only other feedback was that the work was hard. This was fine for us, but there were several members of the group who struggled and I think the nature of the tasks and how physically demanding they are could be more openly communicated. Also to note, we didn’t get the 2 days off mentioned on the website. This wasn’t an issue at all and our excursion day was spectacular, however I think this should also be more clearly highlighted for the people who only stay one week at the project.Finally a huge thanks! We had a brilliant time and booking, paying and planning our trip was made so easy by Fran at the great projects. We‘re looking forward to the next one!
