40-day Trip in Tanzania

With previous preparations, our organization helped us get into contact with our caretaker Mama Alice who was undoubtedly the best person to be with on my trip. She has experience with travelers and the ability to schedule your tour, such as my waterfall and coffee tour, Mount Kilimanjaro ascent, and safari which were amazing. The school we taught was very welcoming yet we struggled with the children. I recommend talking to your caretakers when visiting and seeing what they can book. Overall was an experience that can help you with your resume or just a cultural exchange if you are interested in African life.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would highly recommend getting in contact with a Native or the place you are living because that will make or break your experience. When I was there I drained all my money for good reasons with climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, going to the market, souvenirs, and much more. So please bring money but never EVER, EVER give it to people that ask or try and sell you stuff. Always haggle because they will lie, cheat, and steal from you so never give your money unless advised by a trusted Native.
Pros
  • So many adventures to do
  • Coffee and Tea is cheap and real
  • Souvenirs at ART shops are legit, cheap, and worth getting like the Masai Knives.
Cons
  • Locals will target you so be prepared to say no and never let them get close
  • If you have things to give be careful because people don't want to receive only take
  • All prices are jacked up for tourists so please have a trusted person with you to ask questions

Volunteer Teaching

Working with children in the schools and orphanage in Tanzania was a very rewarding experience. At the orphanage I got to see how the orphanage was managed and helped to wash clothes and prepare the daily meal. The small school I worked at was so rewarding. The children were a delight and the teachers were so welcoming.It was an honour to be able to observe and help the teachers. My host Mama Alice was amazing. I also went on a safari, a waterfall and coffee tour. An absolutely fantastic experience.

Pros
  • Ease of arrival in Moshi and being greeted at airport by Aloyse
  • Mama Alice's welcome and the accommodation was fantastic
  • Overall African experience
Cons
  • Long flights from Australia
  • Excursions booked through Global crossroads too expensive.
