Accommodations and Meals
When you join volunteer in Tanzania program, you will stay with our socially respected and courteous host families. The families have multiple comfy bedrooms equipped with all necessary materials. In most situations, you will share your room with other same gendered volunteers.
The environment is relaxed and social, and is a great place to unwind after a busy day. There is running water and “western-style” toilets. The neighborhood is very safe and clean. There are many amenities nearby like internet cafés, grocery stores, restaurants and mass transit stops.
Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) will be provided and will consist of local ingredients, and feature traditional cuisine choices. Our volunteer program in Tanzania meal program can accommodate vegetarian needs; however, we are not able to provide for other dietary restrictions. Food and drinks outside of mealtimes are the volunteer’s responsibility.
Travel and Weekend
Tanzania is a beautiful country, with a great deal to explore. When you volunteer in Tanzania, we make sure you have the opportunity to do so. Work days typically last 4-6 hours, and the rest of the day is yours. Weekends are entirely free for exploration.
Our Tanzania volunteer programs are located in and around Arusha and Moshi. Arusha is one of the bigger cities in the north of Tanzania, and sits at the base of Mount Meru. During your stay in Tanzania, you will be exposed to a lot of the rich history that makes up this fascinating country.
Among other things, Arusha is known as the jumping off point for safari tours to the Serengeti, N’gorongoro, Maynard, and Tarangire. The city is also an excellent base for visiting the Arusha National Park. Moshi, a 90-minute drive from Arusha, sits on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is an often over-looked tourist destination, but offers many intriguing cultural opportunities.
Safety and In-Country Support
We put safety and comfort first for our volunteers. While volunteers are in Tanzania our staff will stay in regular contact with them, either through face-to-face visits or via phone/email, or both. Key support comes from our country coordinator and in-country field staff.
These individuals are employed by our company and committed to ensuring your experience the best it can be. Your chosen project staff and host family offers support as well. They are familiar with international volunteers, and accustomed to answering questions and providing guidance.
Volunteers in Tanzania program also have access to our country coordinator’s mobile number for emergencies. With longer assignments, our field staff visits regularly (every 2-4 weeks) to ensure the experience is meeting your expectations, and that you are well. Sometimes an assignment may be too far to visit in person, in which case staff members will touch-base via phone/email. You are also welcome to stop in the offices at any time. You are never alone.
