Support Working Horses, Donkeys and Mules Around the World

Did you know that millions of horses, donkeys and mules work tirelessly every day to help their owners earn a living? These hardworking animals are essential in many parts of the world – helping families put food on the table, send children to school, and build brighter futures.

At Diamond Star Experience, we are proud to support Brooke, an international charity dedicated to protecting and improving the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules.

Take a Stand Against Cruelty

Every year, hundreds of thousands of donkeys are slaughtered for their skins and exported, often illegally. This cruel trade, especially widespread in parts of Africa, is rapidly reducing donkey populations and leaving communities without vital support.

Together, we can stand against this suffering and help give these animals the care they desperately need.

How You Can Make a Difference

Your donation, starting from just £4, can make a real impact. Whether you choose a monthly, yearly or one-off contribution, every bit helps to improve the lives of animals who give so much to others.

When you donate, you will receive a personalised donation certificate by email.
You will also be helping to train local vets, farriers, harness makers and owners to provide better care for their animals.
Most importantly, you will be supporting a cause that protects both animals and the people who rely on them.

Why We Support Brooke

Brooke has been making a difference since 1934. It began when Dorothy Brooke, moved by the suffering of ex-war horses in Egypt, raised funds to rescue thousands of them. She went on to open a free veterinary clinic in Cairo – the beginning of what has become a global mission.

Brooke now works across some of the poorest parts of the world, creating lasting improvements for working animals and the communities they support.

At the heart of their mission is the belief that animal suffering is preventable – and that healthy animals lead to stronger, more resilient communities.

Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended. " Mr Alan Fraser - 19 May 2025
