I did the mighty roar project in Sri Lanka for my medical elective and had a great time. The location of the accommodation just across from the beach was fantastic and staff very welcoming and accommodating. The medical programme was well organised and I learnt a lot whilst there.

Best experience ever!

I went and stayed with Charith and his family volunteering with the mighty roar for 6 weeks. It was an absolutely incredible experience. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel very much at home. I volunteered in the hospitals for 6 weeks and it was a very eye opening experience that I will take with me for life. The accommodation is located right next to the beach which is beautiful! On weekends we managed to travel pretty much the whole of Sri Lanka and the weekend trips to the Maldives was a dream come true. It was a fantastic:)

The BEST experience in Tanzania!

Myself and my partner spent two weeks volunteering on the childcare programme in Tanzania and it was the most amazing life changing experience for us both! The staff at the comfy stay hostel are a credit to the programme and really looked after all volunteers. Also, all of the staff involved with the programme made a lasting impact on us and made our experience incredible, with our safety as a priority! Being at the childcare setting and forming relationships with the children, teachers and Maasai people was the highlight for us and we’d love to return to assist with any new projects in the future! Also, the safari exceeded our expectations and was made even better by our amazing guide William! We would recommend the whole experience to everyone and we know we will definitely be back as soon as we can! Asante Sana

Nakupenda Tanzania and the team at comfy stay❤️

I spent 4 weeks with the team and from the moment I got there, the team were so welcoming and kind. Felix cooked the best food and always made sure everyone had ate. German made sure everyone had rooms and that we were all ok! Alice, Emmanuel, Ali, Sam, Naomi, Nick and the rest of the team were all amazing! They couldn’t do enough for us and I had a life changing trip. I didn’t expect to miss Moshi and the team as much as I do. I can’t wait to go back and see everyone. Asante Sana❤️

Nakupenda Tanzania!

Over my time at the comfy stay hostel in Moshi, i never felt unsafe or uneasy, it was such a lovely, warming experience! The staff are so friendly and always smiling (especially Jeman, Ali and Felix) and always check up on you to make sure you have eaten, are feeling well, etc! The tanzania volunteer programme was so well run and such an eye opener, Asante Sana tanzania, i will be back!

A life changing experience in Sri Lanka!!

During my stay in Sri Lanka I went with the mighty roar and they were amazing and so caring! The staff would always check up on you and engage you in conversations making you feel like family! I’m so glad i decided to go with them as they organised our stay, food and trips… which took a massive lift of my shoulders as this was my first time travelling! Before I went to Sri Lanka I was struggling a lot with my mental health and when I came to the mighty roar with my friend, it made me find myself again and got the happiness back out of me! I made so many friends out there and became really close with some and will see them back in the Uk! I did the childcare volunteering and was in the kindergarten and I loved it! The kids were so cute and it was so interesting to see how different it is to the Uk! I stayed with the mighty roar for 4 weeks and did the travel and volunteer experience and 1 weekend trip which was the Maldives (highly recommend)! In that month I feel like I accomplished so much and did so many fun activity’s and site seeing! The accommodation is right next to the beach and it is sooo beautiful, me and my friend would swim and snorkel in the sea everyday! :) Thank you to the staff there and thank you mighty roar! I’m missing it loads will deffo come back again!

I had an amazing time volunteering in Bangkok with the mighty roar! The students were so motivated and enthusiastic that it was a joy to help and support them. It was amazing to see how quickly they progressed.

The school where I worked was well-organized and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They welcomed me warmly from the beginning and helped me navigate the new environment. The students were also very respectful and disciplined, making working with them very enjoyable.

I not only taught the students, but also learned a lot from them.

Overall, I can say that my time as a volunteer English teacher in Bangkok was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I derived so much joy and fulfillment from this experience and am grateful for the opportunity to make a small contribution to the education and development of these wonderful students. I can only recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to do volunteer work, especially in the education sector. It is an experience that changes lives and touches hearts

Winyoo’s teaching in Bangkok

Winyoo’s programme in Bangkok was an amazing experience and I’m so happy I went! The teaching we did felt impactful and it was an eye opening thing to do. Also, the extra tours and day trips you got made it good value for your money as well.

Family volunteers in sea turtle program

Our family of four (kids ages 9 and 11) stayed at The Mighty Roar in Sri Lanka and participated in the sea turtle project. We made incredible friends and had a fabulous week! We were lucky enough to encounter a large green turtle laying eggs on the beach and witness baby sea turtles hatching in the hatchery. We also buried eggs and even got to release the fresh hatchlings to the sea. It was remarkable!

The activities offered during the stay are well worth it and enrich the experience.

The staff is A+! Ayomi is organized, kind, positive and a wealth of information.

We would volunteer for the mighty roar again!

Where do I start! Amazing Staff!

Where do I start! The staff at the comfy house (accommodation) are amazing! They will go above and beyond and out of their way to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. I injured myself and tripped over and couldn't of asked for a better bunch of people to be surrounded around who helped me and looked after me in every way possible. The staff also drive you everywhere you ask to go, and pick you up. Honestly they are just amazing people! Timo, Emmanuel, Elvic, Sam,Daniel, Alice and the reception guys! Thank you! The accommodation is very cosy and cute, good prices for drinks and food is lovely! Lits of close by activities at extra cost, waterfalls, hot springs, hotel pools, food etc The experience itself of childcare was great, I enjoyed every moment I was at the centre with the children and only wished I stayed longer. To anyone unsure of going because you will be alone, trust me and go! You are in safe hands and the staff will always be with you as well as the other volunteers x Many Thanks to the team! I hope to see you again! Jenna x

Incredible week in Sri Lanka with the Mighty Roar, working with sea turtles. Saw so much in 1 week, from swimming with turtles to releasing hatchlings back into the sea. Very supportive, friendly team and fantastic, well organised trips, totally recommend.

Sri Lankan first timers

We spent three weeks at the Mighty Roar in Sri Lanka in February, working on the sea turtle, kindergarten and English teaching projects. As a family of four we felt so included and welcomed by Ayomi and her team and made so many unforgettable memories. From baby turtles to tuk tuk rides, and sunset swims to sunrise beach patrols it was such a memorable trip. Upon getting home to the UK we were craving some sort of dahl or curry as the food served everyday was so good. As a family in one room we had a bit more space than in some of the dorm rooms and were very pleased to have good working air-conditioning (essential!) and excellent mosquito nets on all the beds. The Sri Lankan laid back attitude to pretty much everything took a few days to get used to but once in the groove of it even hot and busy days were no real effort. Our main regret was not having more time to travel around other parts of the country after our time at TMR, though the weekend safari trip (great fun!) did help us see more beyond the coast. During our second weekend away (in Mirissa) we actually felt like we were missing the Mighty Roar as it really felt like a home whilst we were there. A wonderful place with wonderful people.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience - more than I expected. Jesse our guide was extremely knowledgeable & his enthusiasm was contagious. All the staff were exceptional and made our time at Shamwari so special. I would recommend to others and hope to return one day.
