Tisamale Family

The trip to Australia was an amazing and so exciting. I met lots of people who were friendly, courteous and they obviously loved what they did. We created a strong relationship with our friends in Australia. Each day whenever I was with a YATZ or MATZ, it felt like I was with my own family.

It was great to spend a lot of time with everyone in Australia because the more we interact, the more we get to know each other and learn different things. I really love working with everyone, especially the YATZ, MATZ and Monarto zookeepers. For example, in Monarto Zoo we got to clean the chimpanzee’s enclosure, it was very interesting, fun and I loved it!

Australia is a beautiful country to explore, I am very proud and happy to have visited a wonderful country with amazing iconic species. I was very happy to be hosted by five (5) different families, I had a lot of fun with them, having dinner and going to the beach with them. It was great, and I really enjoyed each and every moment I had with each of the families that hosted me. YATZ, MATZ and everyone I met and stayed with is my family. Tisamale is a lovely team and unforgettable.

All in all, I just want to say a big thank you for the fabulous trip we had and am thanking those who made our dreams come true.
