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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tanzania is a great destination for international volunteers. Full of world-renowned wildlife, delicious food, and unique language learning opportunities, Tanzania makes one of the best countries for volunteering.

Tanzania is safe for volunteers. As with anywhere in the world though, danger is never nonexistant. Use common sense, practice caution if traveling solo, and immediately leave any situations that make you feel uneasy.

Costs depend on the type of project you're doing and how long you're volunteering in Tanzania for. In general, you can expect to pay between $250 and $3000 per week to volunteer in Tanzania, in addition to airfare and visa costs.

To volunteer in Tanzania, you will enter the country on a tourist visa (the requirements vary depending on your nationality). After arriving in Tanzania, you will apply for a Class C Permit in order to be eligible to volunteer.

My IVHQ coordinator was very punctual and informative when answering my email and questions. Thailand was the first asian country I ever travelled to and I really loved the country, I was never home sick. The locals I met and the other volunteers were all kind and fun to be around. The teaching program was not too difficult even though it was mostly autonomous because there are coordinators and resources available to help build lessons. The volunteer to free time ratio was great. My only complaint was that my travel group found the beds too hard, but it was address by the end of the week.
