Volunteering in Zanzibar

Eco-Tourism & Humanitarian Work

​​​

We will begin our trip in Tanzania.  Zanzibar has become a very popular tourist destination due to its perfect weather and the beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean.  It's important to start our trip with a comprehensive village tour of Jambiani where students will meet local families and learn about day to day life in Zanzibar.   Students will spend one week working at the turtle sanctuary helping with project improvements, planting crops and caring for the turtles.  The following 2 weeks in coordination with the local city counsel, we will be building roofs for local families in need.  Students will receive 70+ volunteer hours for their project work in Zanzibar. 

​

Zanzibar offers an incredible experience that goes beyond humanitarian projects. It allows you to immerse yourself in a fun and kind culture. Becoming a part of this community is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have!
