“No words to describe how amazing my experience was thanks to African Insight Academy and their amazing guides – Michael, Shadrack and Thabani. I’ve learnt so much and most of all been inspired to be the best conservationist I can be. Thank you for showing me the bigger picture and what it means to work in conservation. Already planning my next trip to volunteer.”
– Kirstie Lea McNulty, 2020 Volunteer
