Tanzania Community Volunteering | The Ultimate Volunteer & Travel in Tanzania

My placement was a particularly good one. It was such a privilege to genuinely enter village life and teach English to African children from 4yrs to 21yrs. After a few days they really welcomed me completely. The Maasai chief and the Mamma’s (The chief’s wives) thanked me for treating their children as my own and performed a ceremony the day I left giving me gifts that will last a lifetime. My time in Africa was a stark reminder of how incredibly important it is to prioritise the things in life that really matter. The African people have real joy, love, commitment and an enviable sense of community. They have nothing and yet they have everything. My time as a volunteer also gave me the opportunity to go on a safari to the Serengeti which was an extraordinary and exhilarating experience and one which I will treasure forever.

My 3 months as an assistant volunteer at a small private school and large goverment school was incedibly rewarding and personally satisfying. Apart from teaching basic English and Maths I coached cricket which the children absolutely loved! The staff at Volunteer House (VH) were incredibly helpful, while VH itself was clean with good facilities including bar area, and 2 meals (breakfast and dinner) on weekdays, and by arrangement on weekends. Be prepared though for intermittent
interruption to power and water supply.

This was hands down the best experience I had! I’ve been to Europe & America and can say tanzania beats them all! The company were there for me every step of the way by helping me organise & plan the trip. They even had split payments which helped me heaps. They were so helpful in answering all my questions with such positivity & kindness. They basically said planned the whole trip for me & did not expect it to be so affordable! The accommodation was also lovely! I will most definitely plan another trip with them!
