Helping in everyday activities at our farm guesthouse
The experience
Our farm guesthouse is located on the outskirts of a small Karoo (semi-desert) town in South Africa. Volunteers can engage in diverse tasks based on their skills, including repairs, vehicle restoration, building accommodation units, enhancing our social media, cooking, and field-research assistance. Daytime help is expected, with private accommodation provided. Be aware, the area lacks restaurants and clubs, and we maintain a quiet environment.
