Volunteers in living in a hotel or home stays can expect to be living with your own room.Bedding is​ ​provided, however you will need​ ​to bring​ ​your own towel and toiletries. It is​ ​also​ ​recommended to bring​ ​a​ sleeping bag for weekends away​. ​In the hotel or home stay, there is a cook who​ ​​prepares meals for the​ ​volunteers and there is a security guard.​ ​The local ​ ​​team​​ are also available on a daily basis​ during the week for support and via phone over the weekend.​

Tanzanian cuisine varies across the country, owing to the difference in produce inland and along the coast. The immigration of Khoja Indians has resulted in local dishes influenced by Indian cuisine. Staple foods in Tanzania include rice, ugali (maize porridge), chapatti and coconut milk. Volunteers are served three meals per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Breakfasts generally consist of chai (tea), toast, fruit and mandazzi (deep fried dough). A typical lunch can include meat and vegetables with rice and fruit, while dinner usually sees traditional food, such as ugali and chapatti accompany the meat and vegetables. Meals are served at the accommodation​,​ however a packed lunch can be provided upon request if you​r​​ ​placement is due to finish after lunch time.​ ​

Bottled water​ ​is​​ ​readily available in Tanzania and volunteers with any special dietary requirements, please let us know so we can make arrangements for you.
