Project Tanzania

13 days Zanzibar to Arusha.

Trip Code: DTPJ

White-sand beaches and volunteering in a community on Zanzibar, game viewing in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater

Get to know Tanzania’s welcoming people, witness some of Africa’s most spectacular destinations, and make a lasting impact—the best of both worlds. Volunteer on a community project on the spice island of Zanzibar, and then roam from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean to the plains of the Serengeti.

Day 1 Arrive Zanzibar/Stone Town

Arrive in Zanzibar at any time.

Day 2 Jambiani (B,L,D)

Morning meeting with our African Impact project managers, followed by a drive to Jambiani to begin our work with local community projects.

Day 3-6 Volunteer with Community Projects in Jambiani (4B,4L,4D)

While in Zanzibar we volunteer at four programmes near the village of Jambiani. Assist teachers and students in local schools, participate in marine and beach conservation projects, or organize sports activities for youth from the community.

Day 7 Arusha (B)

Return to Stone Town and fly to Arusha.

Day 8 Lake Manyara (B,L,D)

Head west to Lake Manyara, and spend the afternoon touring and viewing wildlife in Lake Manyara National Park. This area is truly stunning, as the western wall of the Rift Valley escarpment provides a backdrop for your search of the park's phenomenal birdlife, hippos, and even tree-climbing lions.

Day 9-10 Serengeti National Park (2B,2L,2D)

Journey to the Serengeti via the archaeological site of Olduvai Gorge, the “Cradle of Mankind.” Cruise through the acacia-spotted savannah of the Serengeti plains surrounded by wildlife; the "Big 5" constantly roam this vast expanse of grassland.

Day 11 Ngorongoro Conservation Area (B,L,D)

Enjoy a final morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, continuing on to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The view from your lodge at the crater's rim is stunning, and the birdlife ever-present in the surrounding forests.

Day 12 Ngorongoro Crater/Arusha (B,L)

Venture down to the crater floor for your final safari experience: the incredible concentration of wildlife bound by the crater walls, including zebra, gazelle, impala, and cheetah.

Day 13 Depart Arusha (B)
