Description

Home to some of the most magnificent and spectacular wildlife, ancient and mysterious tribal communities, vast expanses of savannah, tropical blue oceans and imposing mountain landscapes, Tanzania will surpass all expectations. Big game species roam the plains and gorges where early human skeletons lie undiscovered while Mount Kilimanjaro challenges all who behold her. The waters of the Indian Ocean caress the shores of Tanzania and hold a staggeringly diverse range of species, from curious invertebrates to gigantic whale sharks and manta rays gliding silently over the coral reefs.

* What Will I Be Doing?

These construction placements are tailored to the general skills and capabilities of the volunteer as well as the needs of the project.

You will participate in ongoing construction projects which may include activities such as building homes and community centres as well as constructing classrooms, toilets and other facilities for local schools. Construction may also be on a smaller scale, particularly including furniture building as the need for furniture within the community as well as the need for school desks and similar is never ending.

Whatever project you work on you can be sure to gain an exciting hands on experience that will allow you to hone your skills and leave something tangible behind when you leave!

Highlights

* Gain a lifetime of amazing memories.
* Develop your skills within construction.
* Make lifelong friends.
