Join Roadmonkey Adventure Philanthropy for the experience of a lifetime! This volunteer adventure program in Tanzania allows participants to do good for themselves and others at affordable prices and in small groups.

While climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro for 7 days, you will trek through rain forests, valleys, desert, and more. After a day of rest, the volunteer group travels to Zanzibar, the tropical, autonomous island. Volunteers then spend 3 days on Zanzibar working with Roadmonkey's local partner on a poultry farm. In just a few days, volunteers will see the fruits of their labor turn into a profitable organic farming business that will help the local community for years to come.

My husband and I traveled with Roadmonkey Adventure Philanthropy on an amazing expedition to Tanzania. Roadmonkey is cool because it combines rugged outdoor adventure with volunteer work. So the first part of our trip, we climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Then, we performed a hands-on volunteer project at a school for AIDS orphans.

The trip was well organized and the participants were all wonderful. It was amazing to meet the kids at the school and to work side by side local people on the construction. We built desks, painted classrooms and installed a clean water system.

When we got home, we started our own site celebrating volunteer travel. We also produced a documentary on our trip and it has completely transformed our life direction.

I say to everyone -- volunteer travel. It excites your senses and opens up your world more than any other kind of travel.

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you decide to volunteer abroad with Roadmonkey in Tanzania?

I read about Roadmonkey and liked the combination of adventure AND philanthropy. It was a unique mix that I hadn't seen previously. I was also impressed with the background of Roadmonkey founder, Paul von Zielbauer. As a former NY Times reporter, he took a very thorough approach to researching his trips. And the groups were small and very custom.

Describe your day to day activities as a volunteer.

We spent time building desks, refurbishing classrooms (painting, scraping paint, etc.) and installing a clean water filtration system.

What was the highlight of your trip?

Meeting the kids at the Bibi Jann Children's Care Center. That was so amazing and really brought home the importance of what we were there to do. On the adventure component, we got to interact with our Kilimanjaro porters and really felt a deeper cultural exchange than I think most tours offer. I am still in touch with our lead guide to this day.

How has this experience impacted your future?

We came back from our trip and started Journeys for Good. As a documentary film couple, these are the stories we are excited to tell.
