Maasai Immersion: Simply Life Changing

I’ve traveled throughout the world and Africa, and living/volunteering (for 2 weeks) with the Maasai tribal community in Tanzania was life changing. I have volunteered 3x with IVHQ in India, Argentina, and now Tanzania — and I’ve already begun to organize my next volunteer trip. They are an excellent organization and have made all my trips profoundly rewarding.

Each volunteer day was unique and extremely hands-on from building chicken coops to creating lesson plans for the school children. Every experience was unique and living in traditional bomas was such a highlight. The Maasai people were welcoming, engaging, thoughtful, and educational. Their nomadic culture, ways of life, connection to the land/wildlife, and culture are all so vital to Tanzania, Africa as a whole and the world at large.

Tanzania is a beautiful country with immense natural beauty. I went on a 4 day safari in the Serengeti and hiked Mt Kilimanjaro. Being so close to African wildlife and historical locations were also such a highlight of my adventure!

Thank you IVHQ! It was certainly a trip to remember!
