Accommodation:
Our villa is the perfect base for volunteers, interns, and travelers alike, offering a vibrant and welcoming community right in the heart of Arusha. Just a 25-minute walk to the city center, you’ll find plenty of transportation options like motorcycle, taxis and dala dalas (minibuses) for quick trips around town. After a day of volunteering, kick back and relax—whether by the pool, at the rooftop bar, or on the chill rooftop terrace. Plus, you’ll find a shop with cool items made by our projects, and a small spa for when you want to unwind. Safety’s covered with a sturdy wall and dedicated night watchmen, so you can rest easy.

Rooms:
Choose from a variety of cozy accommodation options, including shared dorms (6 or 4 people), or opt for a little extra privacy with a single or double room. Every room comes with a private bathroom, hot shower, closets, and a personal safe to keep your belongings secure. For more privacy, we’ve got gender-segregated rooms. Want your own space? Single and double rooms are available for just €100 extra per person per week.

Extra Perks:
When you’re not volunteering, there’s always something to do. Grab a drink at the rooftop bar, join a free cooking, beading or painting class (just for volunteers), or get active in the gym. For a bit of extra relaxation, the spa is available at little cost—because everyone deserves a little self-care! This is a place to meet like-minded people, create memories, and have fun while making a real impact.

Our cook prepares daily changing breakfast highlights, including home made bread, toast, local Swahili classics, eggs, fruits and juices. Tea, coffee, honey, peanut butter and jam are also always available.

For dinner there are different dishes from Tanzanian and Western cuisine. If you are vegetarian, vegan or have allergies/intolerance, it is no problem at all.

If you would like to buy food, there is a refrigerator and shelves where you can store your groceries.
