Shortly after achieving independence from Britain in the early
1960s, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of
Tanzania in 1964. Tanzania is bordered by Burundi, Congo, Kenya,
Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia. Tanzania’s
surface is 886,037 sq km, including the islands of Mafia, Pemba
and Zanzibar.
The programme
Programmes start every 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, with
arrival Sunday prior to the program start at KIA (Kilimanjaro
International Airport) or Dar es Salaam airport. Upon arrival
you will be picked up at the airport and driven to the volunteer
house or coordinator’s place. During 1-3 days, depending on the
