About Program
GapGuru works with some inspirational partner schools and local organisations in the city of Arusha.
Arusha is a fascinating city where you will find modern office buildings, 5 star hotels and upmarket coffee shops; however, you will also see local women sitting on the side of the roads selling huge avocados or cooking corn on the cob on a fire, and you will also meet Masaai men in their traditional shukas.
Volunteers in Tanzania have plenty of options for exciting ways to spend their weekends. They can visit waterfalls and hot springs, a Masaai market, or the Cultural Heritage Centre (the largest contemporary art gallery Africa). GapGuru can also arrange 3 or 5 day safaris and, for anyone looking for a real challenge, we can arrange a 6 day Mount Kilimanjaro trek.
