Eco-Tourism Volunteering in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime on our GIVE Tanzania Excursion! Soak up the incredible sights, culture, and wildlife of both the mainland and Zanzibar Island! Give’s Tanzania Excursion takes you from the tropical oasis of Zanzibar Island to the wild plains of mainland Tanzania. Work alongside local residents to build critical infrastructure in the form of Kairo’s only school, provide fundamental English education to community members of all ages, and protect this country’s world-renowned wildlife. Explore one of the most beautiful places on the planet as you swim with wild dolphins in the Indian Ocean, sail over crystal clear waters, snorkel through vibrant reefs, and embark on a two-day safari through the African savannah. Wake up each morning to the sun rising over the sandy white beaches and turquoise waters of Zanzibar Island. In between project work, go for a swim, play soccer with the local community, visit nearby beach markets, or relax with your toes in the sand! After volunteering, continue the adventure with GIVE’s Kilimanjaro Add-on and summit the tallest freestanding mountain in the world! Earn academic credit with our optional Eco-tourism course!

Explore a rewarding international experience by volunteering as a teacher in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. Kilimanjaro Tanzanite Safaris, a trusted tour operator, offers graduates from the USA and Europe the chance to gain hands-on teaching experience in local schools nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Beyond teaching, we also provide opportunities for medical internships at hospitals and health centres, ideal for students and graduates seeking practical healthcare experience. Volunteers can also take part in environmental initiatives, including tree planting and afforestation projects in collaboration with a certified local NGO, working to restore natural vegetation in the dry areas of Kilimanjaro. Volunteers benefit from affordable accommodation options such as homestays, Airbnbs, and hostels. In addition to meaningful work, you'll enjoy travel incentives like discounted wildlife tours and student rates for Kilimanjaro climbs. This programme offers a rich cultural exchange and personal growth, and we welcome university partnerships for broader educational collaboration.
