International Working Holidays
International Working Holidays helped me to organise the trip of a lifetime to volunteer in Africa! Everything down to getting the visa was simple and easy. I cannot recommend them enough! I felt safe the entire time and they were always there to answer any questions. I had the most amazing time, made lifelong friends and unforgettable memories! I have also done Camp America through this company.

Amazed by Africa
I had the most incredible 3 months abroad in 2015 thanks to Vicki, Shelby and the team at IWH. Their customer service, organisation & knowledge are second to none.
I have always wanted to go on Safari, and as fate (or clever algorithms!) would have it, an add popped up on my facebook. I clicked to open the website for International Working Holidays. A message popped up “Hi I’m Vicki, let me know if you need anything!”
Before I knew it I was planning my dream 3 month volunteering holiday to South Africa. The team at IWH took all the stress out of travelling solo, and I am so grateful for the experience I had. I made so many memories with people from all over the world. The animals just blew me away.
If you go to South Africa make sure you add on the Kruger and Panorama tour!
I highly recommend the IWH. Book with them! You won’t regret it!

Rebecca how can it be that long ago!!! I recall our late night online chat so clearly - especially your passion against poachers!! Was so god to see you in South Africa as well. x Vicki
Service amazing, volunteer experience outstanding!
We booked a volunteer holiday in South Africa and to say we were nervous is putting it lightly. Shelby at IWH made our journey so much easier. Her service is amazing. We got to our programme and we had one of the best times of our lives. It was an experience I'll always remember and I would definitely recommend IWH to anyone wanting to volunteer or do something different. Just do it !

Thanks a lot, Mitch!
Couldn't recommend IWH any more!!!!
I still remember the exact moment I booked my first trip to Africa with IWH. I was at University dreading the exam period just around the corner and I saw an ad which was offering an experience working with big cats in South Africa. After a quick squiz on the website, I was signed up and booked for a 4-week volunteer journey.
IWH was so incredibly helpful with arranging mine and my friend's visas, flights and making sure we got to and from Airports safely. The trip was incredible to say the least. So much so that I have been going back to the same place for the last 6 years thanks to IWH.
They have so many amazing opportunities all over the world and the team make such an effort to cater the trip to make sure you tick off those bucket list activities.
Cant wait for my next trip!

Thanks Toby!!! I cannot believe that it's been so long now since we've known you! I still remember very clearly messaging you while you were in South Africa to check-in & finding out what an incredible time you were having, gave me the best kinds of warm fuzzies. Cheers, Shelby from International Working Holidays
