You guys are so amazing. I have had an amazing time here! An awesome experience!
It was the best time ever, the Rastas (on the Kayalethu Eco Trail Project) are the coolest people on this planet and probably the whole universe!
My trip to South Africa with EDGE of AFRICA was the best experience i have had in my life! I worked as a volunteer on the Everything Elephant Project for four weeks and at the weekends stayed in the "... read moredreamlike" volunteer house which was right on the lagoon. Knysna is a beautiful town lying on the Garden Route of Southern Africa. The people are unbelievably friendly and it is an extremely safe town with lots to do in your spare time.
Roger and Dayne from EDGE of AFRICA cared for us in an amazingly friendly manner and had everything set out for us and willingly helped us with everything, answering all our questions about their country and i felt as if our two countries were closer together.
There was also a three day trip to ADDO Elephant National Park where we also saw lions. The other truly amazing experience was the Bungee Jump!
It is 216m and is the highest in the world. Also at ADDO Elephant Park i could pick up the snakes and had one around my neck! That was an unbelievable experience!
I made friends with people from other parts of the world and this was so good.
I will definitely recommend this experience with EDGE of AFRICA with Dayne and Roger as it is the most beautiful country and this was the most amazing and impressive experience of my life!

Just to say i think its great that EDGE of AFRICA is involved as your input and volunteer projects clearly makes an impact.

For several months i had been looking for a project in South Africa
to incorporate into my travel plans. When I found the Rasta Eco Project I knew that was what I wanted to do.
As a teacher of conse... read morervation and also operating a business doing restoration work, this suited me perfectly.
I spent 2 wonderful weeks assessing, advising and working removing alien weed species, (Australian species). (At home I remove South African weed species and this provided me the income to come to South Africa and remove Australian alien
species!). To work on the Khayalethu River Trail was a life changing experience and i was welcomed by all the Judah Square Community and made many wonderful friends. Working with Brothers Maxi and Gene I had the truly enriching and positive opportunity to share and exchange knowledge and information. I was inspired and humbled by the dedication of the community in creating the trail, building the information centre, restoring the Fynbos and environmental education for the future generations. A real grassroots project which can only benefit the community and the people who visit. Jah Bless!
