Amazing second trip in Africa

I’ve had the most amazing second trip through GoEco in South Africa this time at a wildlife conservation ranch. The wildlife ranch was amazingly run and so magical. Had the best time working with the wild animals and learning more about them.

I highly recommend WFFThailand and GoEco.

WFFT is a well-organized, well-run program that helps animals of many species thrive after they can no longer be released into the wild. Everyone working at the organization is dedicated and unfailingly helpful. This is a physically and emotionally challenging trip, and the accommodations are very basic. But what you get out of helping—for an organization that cannot exist without volunteers—is simply amazing. I highly recommend GoEco and WFFThailand.

It’s wonderful to hear how much you valued the team on the ground and the important work being done to give these animals a safe place to recover and thrive. Volunteers like you play such an important role, and we’re so grateful you chose to be part of it.

Thank you as well for recommending GoEco, it means the world to us! We hope the memories, the animals, and the impact you made will stay with you for a lifetime. ✨🌏

The whole experience was fantastic. The organisation, communication and preparation were clear on GoEco's side. I felt able to ask questions if need be but most information had been covered through the meetings and information packs I had received. At the project I felt like I was making a difference and the staff there provided me with extensive information regarding the work they do and how to fully engage with them and the wider community. I really appreciated the whole experience. Thank you.

Go Eco review for volunteering in Malawi

Go Eco review

As a slightly older volunteer (in my fifties) I was a bit nervous about what it would be like to volunteer abroad but I need not have worried. The Go Eco team were very supportive in the lead up to the trip and checked in with me whilst I was away as well as when I got home.

I received such a warm welcome on arrival and was helped to sort out my phone with a sim card so I could use it whilst away. The programme itself was so well organised; varied and interesting and the staff and other volunteers were friendly and helpful.

Everything about the whole experience was wonderful, from caring for the animals to the food and accommodation. I could not have had a better time. My only complaint (and it is a big one) is that the time went by in a flash and I wish I had gone for longer!

Volunteering with amazing animals and people

I volunteered at the Walkabout wildlife sanctuary in Australia. I took part in the daily caring for the animals which include cleaning enclosures, food preparation, maintenance work and other kinds of work to make the life of the animals better. It was very hard and exhausting work but at the end of the day it was all worth it because you get to be close to beautiful animals and nature. You learn valuable things about it all, and you get to work with the most dedicated people, people who loves the animals so much that they spend their free time to care for them as well. I would highly recommend this place.

GoEco -Experiences of a lifetime

Costa Rica-Sloth and Wildlife Rescue Center
I was able to spend two weeks in Costa Rica volunteering at the center. We fed and cared for the many sloths, parrots, peccaries, Capuchin monkeys, coyotes, and I believe an Ocelot or two. I also met some of the most wonderful and amazing people from all over the world! Young or old it didn't matter. We worked together, ate together, played games and even slept in the same dorm. Vanessa and Laura (founders and sisters) were the most amazing women I have ever had the pleasure to meet. They are filled with such passion and commitment for their countries culture and wildlife. I am deeply grateful that I was able to be a part of this experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Italy-Liveaboard Dolphin & Whale Research Expedition
What could be better than to be on a sailboat off the island of Ischia, Italy for one week! Nothing! The crew and volunteers would sail out daily from the port in Casamicciola Terme into the gulf of Naples hoping to spot dolphins, whales, sea turtles, etc... and we did! Data was collected on the sightings which provided important information on the population and habitat use. The food on board was simply amazing and it was prepared by our chef captain! A mouth watering experience. I was also able to sleep on deck under the stars each night with breath taking sunrises and sunsets. The crew were helpful, kind and accomodating and the volunteers were of all ages, walks of life and countries! My heart is full!
Thank you GoEco for these experiences of a lifetime!

I might just be GoEco’s biggest fan. I travelled a lot the past few years (>20 countries) and my favorite trips ever have all been volunteering projects I have done. My latest ones were the Bali and Lombok Sea turtle conservation projects. An incredible journey with many lessons learned, not just about turtles or marine life but about me as a human. I will always recommend them to those who are willing to go through life shaping experiences.

The team is really nice and responsive

The team is really nice and responsive! I think the documentation/on-boarding could be a bit more organized, but overall really happy with how everything turned out!
