While Tanzania has achieved nearly universal access to primary education, challenges continue to bar many Tanzanian children from receiving education. No public funding past primary school, dilapidated physical infrastructure, and social perceptions that demote education’s importance are all critical issues. You’ll have the opportunity to address these by refurbishing school facilities and teaching English in a classroom setting. The genuine connection and impact made on these local students will last a lifetime.

You’ll spend a day hiking at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa and one of the world’s great mountaineering objectives. See the area where trekkers prepare to take on the peak, and embark on your own hike to two stunning waterfalls. A trip to Tanzania wouldn’t be complete without experiencing one of the world’s most spectacular safaris: Drive through Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park, which naturalists the world over consistently call “the greatest wildlife show on Earth.” Look for zebras, lions, leopards, elephants, wildebeest, rhinos and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
