TMR MEDICAL ELECTIVE SRI LANKA
I spent 6 weeks with TMR in Sri Lanka doing my medical elective and had the best time! It was a great way to get experience of what healthcare looks like in other countries and very different to the UK. The doctors all spoke english and were very friendly and happy to teach. The placement is mainly observational, as there is limited resources and most patients dont speak english, so if you are looking for a very hands on elective, i wouldn't recommend this. I, however, really enjoyed the placement as it was very well organised by Thilini, one of the staff from TMR Sri Lanka, and there was a lot of variety in the departments of the hospital we got to go to, and we were able to request specific specialties if we were interested in something in particular. Placement is 8-11am monday-thursday, which allowed for lots of time to explore the local towns and beaches, which was a highlight of the trip! Additionally, we got to go to an aryuvedic herbal clinic once a week and learn about traditional medicine in sri lanka, which was super interesting and really fun.
In terms of the TMR accommodation, it was basic, but we were prepared for this as it looked exactly like the pictures online. it had everything we needed, and was very clean. The food was really nice and there was a lot of variety, allowing us to try a lot of different sri lankan food. The staff are extremely helpful and really friendly, and they really made the trip special ! In terms of the complex, it felt very safe. there was a security guard on the premises all night and there was one main gate to exit and enter. The complex is across the road (1 min walk) to a really stunning beach. I went with friends however i can imagine TMR Sri Lanka would be a great place for solo travellers as there is a really nice welcoming vibe and there is always different day and evening activities going on like surfing, kayaking, football, volleyball, bonfires, karaoke nights, etc! All volunteers are allowed to get involved with the other programmes where appropriate, so it allows you to meet a lot of people and experience a lot of new things. The accomodation was 20 mins from Hikkaduwa town by tuktuk, and had so many lovely cafes, shops, and restaurants to try.
Special thanks to all of the team at TMR Sri Lanka for making my stay so memorable !

Hello Grace,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for all of your help volunteering in Sri Lanka!
It’s fantastic to hear that you had such a great time during your 6-week medical elective and that you enjoyed gaining insight into healthcare in a different country. We’re really pleased that you found the doctors friendly and willing to teach, and that the placement offered a good variety of departments along with the opportunity to request specific specialties. It’s also great to hear how much you enjoyed visiting the Ayurvedic clinic and learning about traditional medicine.
We’re glad that you found the accommodation clean and well-prepared, enjoyed the variety of Sri Lankan food, and felt safe and supported by the team. It’s lovely to hear that you made the most of your free time exploring the local towns and beaches, and got involved in the different activities on offer.
A special thank you for mentioning Thilini. We’re so pleased to hear that she helped organise such a positive and memorable experience.
Thanks,

South Africa- Amakhala
I spent 4 weeks in South Africa volunteering at Amakhala game reserve. The experience itself was absolutely incredible, I met so many lovely people, and had some amazing once in a lifetime experiences. The staff at Amakhala were so lovely and helpful, and made the experience so fun.
The accommodation was well kept, with a constant food supply in the kitchen, and clean rooms. The staff at the at the accommodation were equally as lovely.
The Mighty Roar were helpful in getting everything sorted, and making it an easy process. The communication was good leading up to the trip, any questions I had were answered quickly.
However, I’m not sure if this applies to all the volunteer schemes, but I found out at Amakhala that you can just book straight through them to volunteer, for a lower price than what the Mighty Roar charge, and the application process is a bit easier. If I had known this before booking, I’m not sure I would have gone through the Mighty Roar, and I think if I was to go to Amakhala again, I would book directly through them.
Having said this, the constant support and communication from the Mighty Roar is very helpful, and if it’s your first time going it might be worth booking through the Mighty Roar, just to get that extra support.

Volunteering in Namibia
Hello !
I was in Namibia for two weeks with the Mighty Roar.
It was an exceptional time with just a few little inconveniences. I can totally recommend the Mighty Roar, they answered all my questions I had before volunteering usually within a hour and really helped me calm my nerves before the trip.
My time at Naankuse was a great experience. I would totally do it again, however, I would add some more projects the second time around. This is one thing I wasn’t informed about enough. When staying at Naankuse you can also go volunteering at other projects like Timbila or Harnas for just a transportation fee.
The staff at Naankuse is so kind and welcoming. You will meet a lot of new people and connecting with them comes naturally so you won’t be or feel alone.
All in all, I’m very grateful for the opportunity to volunteer there, it was simply amazing.

Great for a family too
We came as a family of 3, our daughter is 11, due to school and work we’ve only had a week but it has been the best family travel experience that we’ve had. We’re on the turtle programme-it’s the busiest programme that there is but there have been lots of cultural experiences and down time too. We’ve done loads, seen loads and learnt loads and are leaving wanting to do more.
The turtle coordinator, Tharu, was brilliant, super knowledgeable, organised and good fun.

Simply WOW
Simply WOW! One of the most rewarding and inspiring experiences. The whole team are very welcoming and ensure everyone feels included.
I was slightly apprehensive about the trip as we were travelling as a family (with one 11yr old), but they accommodated us in a private room.
The Turtle programme was incredible and Tharu’s passion infectious. There was also flexibility to dip into other programmes (Stray Dogs, Childcare etc).
The accommodation was basic, but clean, with air conditioning and warm showers. The food was fresh and delicious and not all spicy (as I feared).
A special mention to Chamo also for her effortless organisation of so many elements.
Thank you for an incredible experience, one that I will never forget. 🐢

African Adventure
I returned from the ‘African Experience’ in March 2026 after spending 2 weeks at each reserve in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. I loved the diversity of animals, conservation work and activities available and loved every minute of this amazing experience.
You also get to meet so many people and make so many friends from all over the world.
The whole adventure was amazing and the top highlights for me was the baboon walks including feeding and playing with the baby’s, sunset safari, animal tracking, spotting the Big 5, skydiving, bungee jumping, and relaxing days at the beach.
I’d recommend Mighty Roar as their support was amazing in choosing the adventure and their aligned country representatives and guides made the adventure even more interesting, with their knowledge of the animals and fun that they bring to the teams each day.

We love WFF ❤️
My partner and I spent a week volunteering at WFFT (Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand) and it was unforgettable experience! We loved every second. You can tell that the foundation really cares about protecting and rescuing animals, which was a big part of why we chose this programme - it feels genuinely ethical.
The work days are long, but were kept upbeat by the volunteer coordinators, namely Jam and Faii ❤️
The accommodation was basic and very clean, which was all you need! There was a kitchen area to cook your own food, but the food provided at the canteen was so good that we didn't need to.
Overall, such a beautiful experience, we're so glad we booked it.

Ghana Medical Placement
This has honestly been the best three months of my life.
I traveled solo to Ghana in January this year to volunteer in the local hospital.
I was picked up from Accra Airport after a six and a half hour flight. Accra airport was bustling with people and very humid, but from the get go I knew this would be fun. I was met by two lovely lads called Rubben and Stephen - who quickly became like brothers to me and the group.
We stayed the night in Accra after picking everyone up from the airport. We then traveled the 9 hours to Busua. The town itself is like paradise. Lovely people, wildlife, golden sand beaches, surfers and coconut trees all around. From that moment I knew it would feel like home in no time. We then got off the bus and we were greeted by the absolutely amazing woman that is Dinah Essel (The Volunteer Coordinator).
Dinah is your one stop shop for anything you need while out there and is someone who will go above and beyond for us volunteers and the local community. Dinah arranged haircuts, taxis, shopping trips, activities and so much more and is a real credit to TMR.
Dinah and her team of lads Francis, Rubben, Stephen and Alfred are some of the kindest people to walk this earth and honesty make the trip, I can't fail to thank Philomena (Dinah's amazing sister who does most of the cooking - the food is amazing).
We stay at Dadsons lodge and were instantly shown to our rooms and didn't have to lift a finger. We were honestly 30 seconds away from the golden sand beach and Tina's restaurant/bar (which you will frequent a lot on your downtime).
The staff at the hospital are amazing and truly do everything then can to. make you feel comfortable and supported. The hospital is a local government funded hospital in the fishing town of Dixcove. The Doctors and Nurses there are so highly educated and are honestly superheroes. I have seen and been involved in so much during my time in the hospital from witnessing surgeries, C sections and childbirth to taking bloods for testing and doing blood sugar - experiences that you wouldn't get to have back home.
I have met some life long friends in Busua, and will wholeheartedly be coming back. Dinah and her team are amazing and it truly pained me to leave them and the group behind. If you are on the fence about booking Ghana with TMR I urge you to go ahead. I booked mine the week I flew out and will never regret the experiences I had and memories I made with the group, and the staff who make you so comfortable they are arguably are more like friends.

Happy Paws Dog Programme
I was at Sri Lanka doing the dog programme for 3 weeks with Kavi. Coming down I didn’t really know what to expect, but it’s been an absolute experience of a lifetime. The programme is as hands on as you’d like it to be, which made it even more eligible for me as I’m studying vet-medicine. You can join vet appointments and treatments if you’d like. Kavi is the sweetest and the dogs in the sanctuary and the village are the cutest. They are in need of help, but they are also so very positive towards humans and depend on Kavis feeding Tuc-Tuc and helping hand. Driving around you bring food and a first aid kit, looking for dogs in need, feeding the packs and looking after the puppy’s on the street. Absolutely heartwarming experience, if you like dogs, do this programme. Don’t be scared, we always felt safe.

Childcare programe in Ghana
I have just finished 3 months volunteering in Ghana doing the childcare program and I cannot recommend it enough. From the second I landed in Accra the staff were incredible, welcoming and putting our safety and happiness at the forefront. Dinah and the local team ensured that my entire trip ran smoothly and answered any questions we had. You are truly seen as part of one big family. Whether I was at the school or relaxing by the beach or doing evening activities I never had a dull moment. There was always something going on while still having time to relax and unwind. The volunteering itself was very rewarding and seeing the children’s pure joy at your presence was worth the trip itself! It was an incredible experience

Hello Olivia,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for joining us for 3 weeks. We are really pleased to hear that you met lots of lovely people and that the housekeeping team made a positive impression – we will be sure to pass on your kind comments to them.
I am sorry to hear that certain aspects of your experience did not meet expectations. Looking at your schedule for the three weeks you were in Costa Rica, you rotated through all activities and were only repeating one zone once per week. This structure is designed to provide a good balance of variety whilst also allowing enough time in each area to make a meaningful contribution. However, we appreciate that everyone’s preferences are different and feedback like this helps us review how we can continue improving the day-to-day experience.
Regarding the food, I am very sorry that this was not as good as usual during your stay. Unfortunately, both of the experienced cooks left at the same time and the replacement team were still in training, which clearly impacted consistency and flavour. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and steps have already been taken to ensure this improves moving forward.
I can also see that none of these concerns were raised with either the local team or the UK team during your placement. We always strongly encourage volunteers to share any concerns whilst they are with us, as we are very happy to make adjustments quickly and speak with the local team to ensure everyone is comfortable and enjoying their time.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we do genuinely appreciate you taking the time to volunteer with us.
Thanks

Disappointing organisation and poor student support
I travelled to India through Mighty Roar as part of a placement experience as a Student Nurse, and while there were some worthwhile aspects to the clinical exposure, the overall organisation and support were disappointing. They are not able to sign Pebble Pad!
The biggest issues were around communication, basic welfare, and poor planning. On arrival, there was little practical support to help settle in, such as guidance on getting a SIM card, accessing cash, or understanding accommodation facilities. The orientation was also delayed until well over a week into the placement and did not provide the practical information that would actually have been useful.
Food arrangements were another ongoing issue. Meals were often late, breakfast options were limited despite what had been advertised, and there were times where this had a real impact on the day-to-day experience. Concerns raised locally were often not resolved, which made the situation more frustrating over time.
I also joined the Golden Triangle trip, which unfortunately felt poorly coordinated. There were changes to the itinerary that were not communicated clearly in advance, and meal allowances/inclusions were not managed in the way they had been described before booking. At times, participants were taken to places where food prices did not match the budget allowance provided.
India itself was an incredible experience, and the placement had value, but the support and organisation from the programme provider did not meet expectations. There is a lot of room for improvement in communication, transparency, and student welfare.

Hello Fran,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your nursing placement in India. We are pleased to hear that you found value in the clinical exposure and enjoyed the experience of being in India, however we are very sorry to hear that certain aspects of the organisation and support did not meet expectations.
We regularly host students completing elective placements in India, and any required documentation or placement hours can typically be signed off by the appropriate supervisor within the hospital. It appears that you departed several days earlier than your scheduled end date without notifying the team, which unfortunately meant it was not possible to verify or sign off hours that were not completed.
Regarding your orientation, as you arrived on a non-standard start date, the arrival process will naturally differ slightly from the usual schedule. This was outlined to you prior to travel so expectations were clear.
At the time of your arrival, the main coordinator was leading one of our weekend trips. However, she still made contact via message to introduce herself and explain what would happen over the following days, ensuring you were supported until the full orientation could take place.
When you contacted us during your placement regarding meal times, this feedback was passed to the local team and timings were adjusted straight away. Similarly, when you mentioned issues with hot water, the local team confirmed that they showed you again how to operate the showers and that hot water was available in the accommodation.
Regarding the Golden Triangle trip, local staff accompany volunteers throughout the experience to support logistics and wellbeing, whilst licensed government guides conduct the official tours in locations such as Agra and Pushkar. Due to some bad weather whilst on the weekend trip, the itinerary was slightly changed to ensure everyone got the most from the trip and this was clearly discussed and agreed with by all participants.
The local team also confirmed that they did try to support you as much as possible, including providing a private room and regularly asking for feedback, which was never provided.
We are always more than happy to address concerns whilst volunteers are in country, as this allows us to make immediate improvements to ensure everyone has the best possible experience.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback in a constructive way. It is important for us to continually review and improve our programmes, and we hope the steps outlined above demonstrate that your comments have been taken seriously.
Thanks

The staff at the Mighty Roar specifically Chamodi made the whole experience. They were so kind and when I became unwell looked after me and checked up on me. The teaching programme was fantastic and well organised. Highly recommend!

It’s great to hear that you had such a positive experience and that you found the teaching programme fantastic and well organised. We’re especially pleased to hear how kind and supportive the team were, and that they took such good care of you when you were unwell.
A special thank you for mentioning Chamodi. We’re so glad they made such a positive impact on your time in Sri Lanka.
Thanks again for your recommendation!
