Tanzania Volunteer Programs from $24/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

Volunteering in Tanzania was an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience. The program was well-structured, and the local team provided amazing support every step of the way. I felt truly welcomed into the community and appreciated the chance to contribute meaningfully to the projects. I gained new skills, made lifelong friends, and left with a deeper understanding of the culture. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend it to anyone considering volunteering abroad.

I was so so so terrified of taking part in this experience as I knew no one who done it before. IVHQ and the local team in Tanzania were absolutely amazing in making me feel comfortable. I was there for 8 weeks and I could’ve stayed another 8 weeks. It was the best experience of my life. I made the most amazing life long friends. This experience has honestly changed my life. The people and culture are so special. I would highly recommend anyone to take the opportunity to volunteer here because you will absolutely not regret it.

I am a young, female, solo traveller and figured I’d be safest going through a company and stumbled across IVHQ. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my trip to Tanzania, but I felt at home as soon as I arrived there. Everyone is extremely welcoming from arrival and I could not have asked for a better local team to hand. They were so helpful, replied to any queries promptly and made the experience run so smoothly for me. They are super flexible with your travel needs and incase you fall ill, they provide a lot of support. I was able to travel to Zanzibar during my time there (somewhere I have always wanted to go) and I had free time to relax by myself also. I made friends from all over the world, whom I still have contact with a couple months later and we are planning to meet up at some point!

The first weekend I got to experience my first safari, the second weekend I visited Zanzibar, and the last weekend I got to visit a coffee plantation, Chegga Tribe Cave tour and the Chemka Hot Springs, all of which were phenomenal.

Honestly, I would go back in a heartbeat, I loved every second and would recommend to anyone and everyone!! :)

Volunteering with IVHQ in Tanzania, Africa was hands down one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms by both the local Team and the community. The support system they provide is outstanding, ensuring that you have everything you need to make the most of your volunteer experience.

The programs offered by IVHQ in Africa are diverse, impactful, and deeply rooted in local needs. I volunteered in a rural community, where I worked alongside local staff in a local daycare. The opportunities to interact with locals, learn about their culture, and contribute to the community, made the experience so much more than just volunteer work—it was a chance to build meaningful connections and immerse myself in a new environment.

The Local team provided excellent orientation and support throughout, which helped us feel safe and confident during our time in Africa.

The living conditions were simple, but comfortable, and we were encouraged to adapt to the local lifestyle, which made the experience feel more authentic and connected. The food was always fresh and delicious, and the accommodation was clean and well-maintained.

Aside from the volunteering, the cultural immersion was incredible. The weekends were filled with opportunities to explore local wildlife, vibrant markets, and even go on safari in the Serengeti! The local team and our coordinators also encouraged us to learn a few words in the local language, which truly helped in connecting with the community on a deeper level.

The program gave me the chance to be a part of something greater than myself while making lifelong memories and friendships. If you're looking for a meaningful way to give back while also experiencing the beauty of Africa, I cannot recommend IVHQ enough!

I feel so lucky to have had this experience! The program was incredible, I didn't want to leave. I loved how social it was having a house full of people from all over the world. I definitely recommend doing at least 4 weeks as 2 certainly wasn't enough. The local team were amazing and I never once felt unsafe the entire trip! There is so much opportunity and time outside of your placement to do lots of fun activities such as going on a safari or to the nearby waterfalls. Already thinking about planning my next IVHQ trip.

Everything about this experience is truly amazing! The placement, the accommodation, the food, the local team, the excursions and the friends you make for life! I’ve been home 1 day and already wishing I had done longer and hoping I get the opportunity to go back one day. If you’re thinking about doing it then do it it’s so worth it, It was even better than expected, I was abit worried going but I felt so safe during my stay with ivhq and onwards! Tanzania really has the most friendliest of people

I had the honor and opportunity to volunteer in Tanzania, in the childcare program for three weeks and it was the best experience of my life. The local team made me feel at home. this experience has allowed me to make new friends and grow. I learned a lot, especially to appreciate the little things around me and it stirred up new positive emotions. I came into contact with different cultures, but very close at the same time to my own, and I loved everything! I would like to thank the local team and coordinators for their helpfulness, support, and presence was crucial during this trip It was a great experience, one to do at least once in a lifetime, which I recommend to anyone!

My experience was Incredible. The team was very responsive and I felt more than prepared before traveling. My preparation tasks were clear and organized. The local team that accommodated me was friendly and welcoming. I was always accompanied by one of the coordinators to ensure my safety and comfort. the volunteer experience (Childcare) was extremely rewarding. I made some amazing memories and felt like I left a lasting effect by volunteering.
