Before you depart, this is what you need to know
For some of our destinations, we will advise these. On some occasions, it is even required to get vaccinated in preparation for your trip. We advise you to contact your local medical professional or travel clinic. They will be able to advise you about vaccinations and malaria prevention.
It is important that you do this a few months before you intend to travel as for some vaccination you require multiple shots.
Other Participants
The number of participants on a trip will vary depending on the time of the year. Some destinations and trips are naturally more popular and much more bustling than others. While other destinations and trips are more exclusive and unique and only traveled by a few, which lend themselves more for the independent adventurer.
Depending on your preference, it would be important to take all these aspects into consideration when choosing your trip of a lifetime. Don’t hesitate to email or call us for more specific information with regards to the socializing component of a certain trip or destination.
Our trips and volunteer projects are over all year round. However, Summer in the northern hemisphere (June, July, and August) is the most popular time of the year. This is of course great if you are looking to meet as many camp buddies as possible.
When you are looking for a more intimate experience with regard to project involvement and cultural immersion, we would suggest joining us outside of the summer months.
