South Africa

I did the veterinary experience in South Africa July-August 2017. Would definitely recommed to anyone thinking about it. Booking through oyster allowed me to make some lifelong friendships with both volunteers and rangers I worked with. It allowed me to become more confident and do things I wouldn’t usually do!

Volunteering at an Elephant Sanctuary in Thailand

I chose to visit the elephant sanctuary in Thailand in late summer, and loved every moment of my experience there. Thailand is known for being a friendly country anyway, but Oyster Worldwide gave me all the materials and instructions I needed to make sure my journey and stay was as comfortable as possible. Volunteering at the sanctuary was hard work but an absolutely amazing experience, one I would definitely like to repeat later on and would recommend to anyone else wondering what to do on their gap year travels, especially for someone who might be going solo like me. Two weeks wasn’t enough for me; I would’ve liked to explore more of Thailand after I got comfortable with the customs and locations. I made so many friends and memories in such a short time and have become more confident in decision making skills, as well as becoming more relaxed. I am currently looking for my next adventure and I’m thinking about using Oyster Worldwide again, definitely a company to trust :)

Safety net

I went to volunteer at an elephant & wildlife refuge in Thailand and would recommend it to anyone! Oyster is there every step of the way and answered any little question I had as a first time solo traveler. Having Oyster there to call if any problems occurred (which they didn’t ) puts your mind at ease..

Oyster provided me with the most wonderful experience of my life helping animals in Africa. The trip gave me a sense of achievement and I got to learn new things and boost my confidence. I wish I had booked a longer trip, it was really life changing.

I joined a program in Romania which included volunteering and sightseeing. It was very rewarding and the Oyster Worldwide staff were very helpful before booking and once I was on my placement.
