Travel to Tanzania and Volunteer
By Ian Williamson

To travel to Tanzania and volunteer is becoming a popular way to experience another culture. Both young people in their gap-year and older people taking a career break travel to Tanzania in order to spend time working and traveling.

By traveling to Tanzania the volunteer makes a difference to our communities in parts of Tanzania that are rich in culture, variety and natural beauty; but where there is poverty and disadvantage. Some companies arrange placements and courses for volunteers to develop skills in towns whilst others send volunteers to remote rural but areas of the Tanzania.

Volunteers fall into several groups the gap students that prefer a volunteer program that is ccomprehensive, fun and challenging. Normally from one to six months month programs which - including training, on-site support staff, accommodation and travel insurance.

Summer Mini-Gaps are summer programs, for school leavers going straight to University, or University students during the summer break.

School Expeditions: are from tens up to four week expeditions for school groups. This involves work in a community or school building project and then a safari or to climb Kilimanjaro.

Career Breaks are a fulfilling two week to six month program, which can be incorporated into existing travel plans - including training, support and initial accommodation. Designed for over 21s and those looking for a more independent placement.
