Our trusted partner for online learning offers courses in "International Volunteering", "Travel Health & Safety" and "Travel Safety Abroad".

The program fee includes your accommodation, two meals a day, transfers to and from the airport, all Agape registrations, orientation, a dedicated trip adviser to guide you through your booking, and a donation to your placement. It also covers Agape Insurance, a fully comprehensive insurance policy.

Medical placements require a £95 surcharge to register you, and you will need to pay to reregister each time you switch to another placement.

You will be picked up by a uniformed member of staff and driven to Maisha Cottage in the city centre.

You'll be staying at Maisha Cottage, the guesthouse at KATzVA. It is situated in a lush garden just 5 minutes from Arusha town centre. Maisha Cottage is set up to be a home away from home, with a communal lounge area with TV/DVDs, large gardens to relax in, a mix of local and western-style meals and a wonderful support staff.
Same-sex dormitories sleep up to seven volunteers. Bed linen is provided but you please bring your own towel. The Cottage has hot showers, WiFi, and plenty of communal space for you to share with other volunteers.

There is also the option to live with a local family in a volunteer homestay. If you would be interested in this, please ask your trip adviser.

Breakfast and dinner are included in your program fee. Food at the guesthouse is a mixture of western and African meals, so you can expect dishes like rice, beans, mixed vegetables, chapatis, curry and stewed meat and a variety of other dishes. Breakfast tends to be based around bread, butter, jam, tea, coffee, fruit, eggs or pancakes.

Good access at the project site

Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.

The nearest airport is Arusha Airport (ARK) in Arusha. We assist you to find cheap flights to Tanzania.

Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Tanzania provides security and is a plus to have.

If you are intending to volunteer in Tanzania you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Tanzania.

You can volunteer at the project site in Arusha/Tanzania between 1 week and 12 weeks. Please note that the above shown program fees are estimated and subject to exchange rate fluctuations. Agape Volunteers will let you know about the final price during your application process.

Generally, volunteering abroad involves certain costs. In case you need financial support, we will assist you to fundraise your volunteer program in Tanzania.

The deposit is simply to reserve your volunteer placement. Payments are handled by PayPal, our trusted global payment provider. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can also pay using a credit card.

Your final payment will be agreed with Agape Volunteers during the application process. Common solutions are either via bank transfer or a cash payment at the project site.
