Volunteer Opportunities in Tanzania
Home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, Tanzania is a land of national parks and reserves. Travellers who dare to venture the depths of this magnificent country can experience unspoilt nature, such as the mighty Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro crater.

Even with these daily struggles, Tanzania continues to be one of the few nations in Africa to be politically stable.
