Stay away. Terrible place

Indeed this place could have potential yet it is failing in every aspect due to its poor management by its head director, the abusive Craig Spencer. The man is a charlatan, pretending to be a decorated soldier, a scientist, (walking around with a pipe in his mouth as if to give himself credibility). He abuses women, particularly those who invested in him. He takes all your money and cant even provide decent conditions for his volunteers. We ran away after 4 days where we were poisoned by what we ate and drank in this filthy place. Craig Spencer is an abusive, racist, and greedy person who surrounds himself with feeble men, some armed with handguns, and with young women whom he attract with false self promoting stories. All in all we felt like we were guests at the Charley Manson family.

Terrible experience avoid at all costs

Transfrontier Africa
Warning!!! Stay away from this volunteer organization.
Transfrontier Africa is a shameful body, their camp is filthy, with bad sanitation, rotten food, dirty water containers and sometimes no water at all. I was so sick due to the bad conditions in the camp. No least I was also quite troubled by the Managing Director of the organization, a man who is calling himself Craig Spencer, (if that is indeed his real name). In fact I was so alarmed by his shady character and by the way he runs Transfrontier Africa, that I name him "The South African Charley Manson", while naming his volunteering program as "The recruit center for the Manson Family"
Stay away from this poisonous group.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
