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

Had the best experience with IVHQ. Felt very supported throughout the whole process. I had great support from when I first signed up to when I was finished and flying back home. Both the staff in New Zealand and those in Tanzania such as the coordinators, really made my experience great. I felt comfortable and safe at all times and extra help was always available if/when I needed it. There was a great balance between the volunteer work and social/recreational activities, plus I met the most amazing people.

I had such a great experience with IVHQ I spent 8 weeks in Tanzania and felt so supported with every step I took. Even after I came home the guide on adjusting back to ‘normal’ life was a really nice touch. I had fun on all the trips that I went on. I’ve had an unforgettable experience, all thanks to IVHQ.
The partnered team in Tanzania (THE) were amazing too.
Whilst I was in Tanzania I met Mariana who is amazing! She would listen to feedback but also chat to us as friends.
If you are thinking about it. Do it!

My volunteering experience in Zanzibar was beyond amazing. From the very start when I arrived in the camp I instantly found I was part of a family, everyone who worked their made sure your stay was at the highest level it could be and let me tell you it was so fun. With the volunteering itself, I loved how it was so broad and no day was the same as there were so many volunteering activities to choose. My personal favourite was the school, I loved working in the school and speaking with all the children and helping them when needed. I really recommend to volunteer abroad as it opens you up to new experiences and you can grow in confidence and independence

Don't be scared, just buy the plane ticket !! IVHQ made the whole experience really safe and organized, absolutely everything was perfect. Thank you very much to the team, because this trip to Arusha was definitely one of the best experience of my life ! Unfortunately, I only stayed for a week, and it was not enough, so if I had an advice, it would be : stay a really long time (2 weeks minimum). You will have the opportunity and time to do so many activities. Also, don't be scared to come alone, almost everyone I know came as a solo traveler, you'll make friends there !!

My two-week volunteer experience in Tanzania, teaching maths to enthusiastic children, was an unforgettable journey that left a lasting impact. Thanks to IVHQ, the organization responsible for this remarkable experience, everything was impeccably organized, making it truly extraordinary.

IVHQ's thorough preparation and guidance beforehand instilled confidence in me, eliminating any initial hesitation. Their dedicated staff warmly welcomed me upon arrival, providing continuous support throughout the program, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Teaching the children brought immense joy as their enthusiasm and progress were truly inspiring. IVHQ's well-structured program allowed for a harmonious balance between teaching and cultural activities, enriching my understanding of Tanzanian life and traditions.

Beyond volunteering, IVHQ facilitated meaningful cultural exchanges, forging connections with the local community. Their commitment to responsible volunteering ensured a positive and sustainable impact.

In conclusion, my transformative volunteer journey with IVHQ in Tanzania surpassed all expectations. Their responsible and impeccable organization, coupled with the joy of teaching and connecting with the children, made it an experience to cherish forever. To anyone hesitating about joining such a program, I encourage you to embrace the opportunity wholeheartedly, as the memories and lessons gained will inspire you for a lifetime.

My whole tanzania trip was absolutely incredible! As soon as i arrived i got picked up by the team and explained to about my trip. The accommodation was surprisingly really nice: comfy beds, warm showers, proper toilets etc. The mamas at the house cook 4 meals a day and cook for your needs too (i’m an extremely fussy vegetarian) but there was food i ate. I volunteered at a daycare which was the best thing ever. When we wanted to go out as a big group, the team would plan transport for us. IVHQ was always a message away if you needed anything. I’ve already planned my next trip back for a longer period of time in a few months. See you soon Tanzania :)

p.s if you are wondering whether to do it, DO IT you won’t regret it

IVHQ was great from start to finish. They provided me with all of the guidance required when going overseas as a solo female traveler. They ensured I felt safe during the entire program and the 'house mumma's' took care of me as if I was one of their own. The price was also extremely reasonable for the amount of food and care I was given!

The weekend activities were also very well organised and gave me an opportunity to immerse myself in the country's culture fully whilst there. I thoroughly enjoyed my program and would definitely return in a heartbeat!

I can’t find enough words to explain how extraordinary making this journey to Tanzania was for me. I was not expecting much to begin with, and yet everything was more than I bargained for. My initial intention to joining IVHQ was to volunteer in the Medical program. As an RN, I’ve always wanted to see life in the medical field outside of my norm- my country. I chose Tanzania because a) I have never traveled to Africa before and b) I wanted to see what medical resources this developing country has available. lastly, I wanted to meet people across the world and make memories in hopes of reconnecting again in the future. Let’s not forget going on Safaris was the absolute highlight of this trip!

Having said that. This journey/adventure was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had and I would do it again with IVHQ. They made me feel safe traveling to a country I wouldn’t consider traveling alone. They were always readily available via WhatsApp with any questions or concerns. They made sure we had everything we needed and always provided us with information and updates. IVHQ was also easy to accommodate and match us to a program we felt most compatible with in case the first round didn’t work out. The coordinators strive to keep us safe and comfortable, which is why I would use IVHQ again for my next destination. I would highly recommend to anyone of all ages!
Thank you IVHQ!!
