Wonderful experience
April 24, 2026by: Marcello Bonini - ItalyA 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
January 30, 2026by: Lara McMillan - AustraliaAn 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.
Good experience
December 04, 2025by: Carmen Olmos - SpainVolunteering in Zanzibar was a truly transformative experience. Beyond contributing to educational and community projects, I had the chance to connect closely with the local culture, learn from the warmth of its people, and experience a simple and authentic way of life. Working with children and families allowed me to feel that, even in a small way, I could make a meaningful impact. Zanzibar offered not only breathtaking landscapes, but also deep human connections and a renewed perspective on solidarity and the power of small actions.
