Extraordinary nice experience with nice people
June 06, 2025by: Sabine Straesser - GermanyI enjoyed my experience and stay with giving hands in Arusha/Tansania very much and would like to recommend those lovely people and that lovely home. I always felt very welcomed and safe and cared. I learned a lot about this beautiful land and their people and felt so good to support them. I loved the people who stayed with me and I loved the house and the nature and kindness around me.
The time of my life in Tanzania!
June 06, 2025by: Suzy Fussell - GermanyI had the time of my life during my 3 months stay in Tanzania with Giving Hands! The welcoming in the big and beautiful hostel felt like coming home, the staff is so nice and always there if you have a problem, the house is so big and the rooms are also very comfortable! There ie filtered drinking water, tee, coffee, wifi and hot water and security guards always disponsible for everyone and they have chicken for eggs, they heat with solar power and they have dgs and rabbits and looots of animals. The food is freshly cooked and more than delicious and if you have any kind of allergies or anything, they will take care of that. The projects was so interesting to see and I really enjoyed my time there, they need a lot of help and I was so sad when the day came when I had to leave that all behind. Also I did many trips and also a safari with Givin Hands and this was so well organized from beginning to end with fair prices and everythng handled so well... I will never forget my time in Tanzania :-)
