There is no electricity on the farm but we have solar power for the need of the computers, refrigeration, lighting, laundry ect. The rooms/chalets are basic but very comfortable. We try to give as much privacy as possible to long term volunteers but you might have to share a room with other volunteers. There are animals camps around the camp and you will be in contact with them. There are also wild animals in the private game reserve. Your laundry is done for you and you will have internet access at a minimal fee for your private use. The rooms have toilets and shower with hot and cold water.
Food and Accommodation will be provided by the organization. The volunteer must stay for a minimum of 6 months.
