IVHQ- Tanzania!

June 19, 2026by: Katie O Connor - Ireland

IVHQ are extremely supportive and trustworthy. They provide a very informative program guide and checklist which ensures you have everything you need! They do constant check ins and always provide support. The information shared is very real and it tells you exactly what to expect- there are no surprises! A member of the team collects you from the airport and ensures you are settled in- you also have an orientation day where you get to meet all of the managers and you know exactly who to go to for different enquires! The accommodation & food provided is of very good standard for the price. There is always someone available for help at night. I did my program in Tanzania- I did teaching. It was amazing! I learned so much from it. There was so much to do including the Safari, sunset hike, women’s outreach, waterfall, Moshi weekend, etc. all of these excursions were organised through IVHQ and I felt extremely supported on them all. If you are considering volunteering with IVHQ, do it! Don't hold back- you won’t regret it✨

Wonderful experience

A wonderful experience in Matemwe Zanzibar, with numerous activities focused on environmental and marine conservation; all the activities were very engaging and interesting, including projects on dolphins, sea turtles, coral cultivation, the coral reef, and its biodiversity... In addition to these projects, the camp in Matemwe offers many other activities that bring you into direct contact with the villagers, allowing you to learn about the local culture, as well as Swahili lessons. I got along very well with all the volunteers and staff—they were welcoming, warm, and super helpful!

IVHQ Childcare

An amazing and rewarding experience. Working in childcare and going into the local school was so special and eye-opening. Everything was well organised and the connections made with the children, staff and community made the trip truly unforgettable.
