Volunteer in Tanzania

Work as a volunteer in Tanzania, a fascinating country in Africa with Mount Kilimanjaro! The location of our volunteer opportunities in Arusha is perfect as it sits below Mount Meru on the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley. Therefore, the city enjoys the benefits of a pleasant and temperate climate.

Program fee includes airport pickup, 1-day orientation & city tour, accommodation, 2 meals per day (breakfast and dinner), support from the local staff, placement & program supervision, 24×7 emergency support, and a donation to local project

"Thank you so much because I was able to learn, teach, support to teacher, play with children and help a little in the daily routine.
I only have positive points about the program: the whole organization, support with informations, suggestions, safety recommendations and many other things." – Nadir from Brazil

Not only is Tanzania proud to bear witness to Africa’s highest point, Mount Kilimanjaro, but it is also a wealthy country full of resources such as lakes, wildlife, and mineral.

The country’s mainland is indeed divided into several clearly defined regions: the low-lying coastal plains, the Masai Steppe, the dry highland plateau and the costs. There you find the East African mangrove as well as Tanzania’s largest city and former capital, Dar es Salaam.

In Tanzania you can enjoy breathtaking landscapes and culture and go for trips around Arusha, while you experience a unique volunteer experience in Africa.

Volunteers stay at a hostel in Arusha, which is considered as the capital of the East African Community and of the safari experience.

Since the city is located below Mount Meru on the eastern branch of the Great Rift Valley, it benefits of a pleasant and temperate climate.

Culturally speaking, Tanzania is one of the most diverse countries in Africa and this is reflected in the fact that there are more than 158 local languages spoken in the country.

Under the leadership of Julius Nyerere, the learning of Swahili was prioritized over local languages. Swahili is therefore widely spoken, but English is used as the language of higher education, administration, and business.

There are more than 120 different ethnic groups among Tanzania’s population, and unlike in other African countries, most people identify themselves as Tanzanian first and foremost.

Step by step, the traditional African tribe values have been adapted to modern life, although at a much slower pace among some tribes such as the famous Maasai.
