Simabos’ hostel - I spend 1 week in simabos’hostel and it was a great time, I really felt like at home, thanks everybody. I went to spend 1 day as well in the chenil and it was a great experience, I didn’t expect to feel so comfortable with the dogs, it was a day full of love. Thanks everybody to create such places. I hope to come back soon!

Simabo is just wonderful! - Changing the life of one animal won’t change the world, but the whole world of this one animal will be changed. I’m Miriam, 31 years old, from Germany. I think that animals are better than humans, except these guys here from Simabo. These people are one of the greatest I’ve ever met. They put so much effort in their work with dogs, cats and also children. They change the world (for more than one animal). I’m having the great honor to be a part of their team for some weeks. I walk the dogs in the shelter, I cuddle the fluffy cats in my apartment and I can’t stop taking photos for Simabo. The animals here are just too adorable! Coming here wasn’t my plan. I work in the tourism industry and am usually quite busy. But right now with the worldwide Corona pandemic I have a lot of free time because nobody travels. For Simabo this is a really hard time because they need volunteers. Helping the animals here is not possible in the way it is with helping hands from travelers. Even though it’s not the best time to go abroad right now I decided to do it anyway. I made a Corona test and as soon as I got the negative result I traveled to Cabo Verde, the smallest country in Africa with a wonderful culture. I’m not a tough person. Seeing animals suffering makes me cry and cry and cry. But crying doesn’t help them, they need us! So what are you waiting for? Come and get to know this amazing place with this amazing Simabo team! They will help you having a great time here, even if you think your heart can’t make it. With Simabo you can be a hero!
