Tanzania Details

ACCOMMODATIONS & FOOD
Volunteers will stay at a hostel in Dar es Salaam the first night and have an orientation the next day. After that, volunteers will move in with their host family who will provide three Tanzanian meals per day. During the week, the host family can help you to pack a lunch, or you can buy something yourself near the volunteer site for lunch. If you take independent trips on the weekends, you have to buy meals during the trips.

Families volunteering will be accomodated in a homestay if a local family has two rooms available. Otherwise, families will stay in a hostel arrangement. There may be an added charge for this arrangement. The hostel has security with a 24 hour guard and is in a safe neighborhood. Hot water and electricity are available and a maid will prepare your meals, or you can prepare your own.
