Panda Project I can't possibly add anything more to this article myself as Manny has said everything I would have written too!
I just think we were so lucky to have Isobella with us at the camp that week....if it wasn't for her I don't think any of us would have even stayed the week!
Be warned though, it is not just GapGuru who 'misrepresents' their trips. I booked a month in China through Gap Discovery and had the same experience regarding the lack of information. The Panda volunteer work was not originally part of my month's stay but very disappointed with what I was actually told I was to be doing, Isobella kindly said I could join her at the Panda reserve. However, I had to pay for all my transport from my original base (which included a flight and many taxi's and buses!!) even though I had already paid for the whole month!
Consequently, I left my trip 3 1/2 weeks early, despite paying for the whole 5 weeks! As expected no refund can be given for the trip but I can certainly say I will NOT be booking again though ANY gap commpany, neither will I be recommending any to others!
I decided I wanted to take time out and get myself involved with animal projects while travelling through China & Thailand. This is my story...... full info
