Volunteer Programs in Tanzania
Most are drawn to Tanzania for a hiking experience to awe-inspiring heights atop Mt Kilimanjaro, a safari through the pride lands of the Serengeti, or lounging on the beach in Zanzibar, while eating fresh seafood and touring the spice fields. However, it’s soon apparent that the real experience comes from greeting the bright smiling faces of the local children who rush to say hello. Volunteer work in Tanzania gives people a chance to not only visit world class tourist attractions and experience a new culture, but also dive into a new language, a new way of living, a new appreciation of food and clean water, new found friends, all while making a huge difference in a community in need.
