You might have less, but yet so much...

Located in East Africa, Tanzania offers the most breathtaking wildlife and natural spectacles. The language here is Swahili, but of course most people can also speak English, some even German and French due to the high proportion of tourists. Most Tanzanians are Christian, some are Muslim. The people here are so full of life and hearty, happy with the smallest things in life. 

Many Europeans still think all Africans live in mud huts, are starving, have 30 wives each and are way behind in terms of education - That's not true! As in all other countries, there are rich and poor people, different tribes who have different traditions and live according to them. Tanzania in general is a very safe country, especially the people in our neighbourhood know that you help the country and treat you respectfully! You don't have to be afraid as a white woman, everyone is very friendly - we'll show you exactly where you can stay without worries. On your first day, you will receive a detailed briefing and a guided tour of the city of Arusha so that you are introduced directly to the culture and life here.

The most convenient airport is Kilimandjaro Airport. In order to easily enter Tanzania you will need a visa - this can be purchased online - 90 days validation for 50 USD. It takes around 2-3 weeks to apply for it online. Please note: the volunteer visa is not the normal tourist visa, so you need information and documents of our organisation to apply for the correct visa!
Most people here can of course speak English, but if you understand and can speak a little Swahili it is very beneficial. If you want, we can offer you a Swahili course in the house for 10 €/hour.
The information for the
humanitarian visa, we will give you as soon as you booked with us.

For
vaccinations, we are not allowed to recommend anything, so we always recommend on asking your general practitioner/ doctor at home. However, most people vaccinate Typhoid or Hepatitis and for the animal welfare project a rabies vaccination is mandatory.
