- Comments: Adam | Hi Tammie, This trip looks incredibly special, given the knowledge and history you have in Namibia. Would it be possible to pass on further details for this trip? (Goodluck with the Asia wide premier of LEBE)
- Comments: Lynne Elander | I'm also interested in specifics (dates, costs, etc.) I am excited to see that you use Wilderness Safaris camps, as I had absolutely WONDERFUL experiences with them in Botswana in 2010 (3 camps across the delta plus Toka Leya in Livingstone) Thanks

- Comments: Kylie | I can definitely confirm that Save the Elephants is a wonderful place to volunteer. I did an internship and my Masters research with them and now beginning my PhD. The knowledge and experiences of the researchers at STE is incredible and their research sites are stunning.
- Comments: Henriette Crouse | www.naankuse.com also doing amazing work for wildlife orphans and the bushman community of Namibia.
- Comments: Tammie | Good to have your feedback Mirinda. Thanks for highlighting the importance of ethics in volunteering. It's something that everyone considering volunteering should be aware of. Always ask the question about what conservation impact your volunteering efforts are having, and their overall organisation's. Maybe the folks at Harnas will reply to this post. Thanks also for the heads up about Twala.
- Comments: Tammie | Thanks for your comments Henriette and Kylie. I've also heard good things about Naankuse - related to the Harnas family and offers amazing accommodation too just outside Windhoek.
- Comments: Ginny Scholes | In August 2013 I volunteered with EHRA for 2 weeks in Namibia on the desert elephant project and then went on their charity desert trek to raise further funds. I loved every minute and would go back in a heartbeat. It was inexpensive compared to other projects, well run and it felt as though all funds were going to the project and not lining organisers pockets. The camp is set in a stunning location and the accommodation quite unlike any other!
- Comments: Mirinda Thorpe | Hi Tammie. After reading on your website about volunteer opportunities I would like to provide feedback on Harnas after volunteering there for 2 months in 2010. After a period of time a few unanswered questions arose, including: Where are all these baby animals coming from? Why are there so many for volunteers to raise? And why is their history and stories not always shared with volunteers? I don't doubt that some animals are rescued as either orphaned or injured, though unsure if this is the case for all of them. It seemed there were often many baby animals with their provenance unaccounted for. I have heard similar questions from other volunteers and staff. Given all this I will personally not recommend this project to people. Finding ethical wildlife volunteer projects in Africa can be somewhat challenging. There is one in Zimbabwe that I would recommend for their ethical practices: Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary run by Sarah Carter. Having visited there twice I do not doubt her ethics and that the animals there are rescued, as she does not breed them. https://www.facebook.com/TheTwalaTrustAnimalSanctuary
