So what exactly is it like to volunteer? 

Volunteering is a fantastic way to travel abroad, give back to people who are in need and develop yourself as a person. 

The experience you will get from giving up your time and care for others, will be like no other. You WILL make a huge difference and uplift those around you, as long as you stay motivated on your mission, positive and focused. 

Why Tanzania?

Tanzania is a bright, beautiful and amazing country to visit. That is why thousands of travellers pass through every year. It's capital Dar es Salaam sits on a breathtaking coastline, an hour from paradise island of Zanzibar. In the north, Arusha sits under the shadows of the great Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. Tanzania is home to many famous Safari parks and game reserves where people from all over the world come to visit the spectacular wildlife. The people are warm and gracious and nothing makes them happier. Tanzania is multicultural and has hundreds of various tribes and ethnicities, it's most famous being the nomadic Maasai tribe. Rich in culture and stunning to see, it really is an exciting part of Africa to visit.

The Problem

Animal welfare is a major concern in Tanzania.

A lot of effort has been made to preserve the natural wildlife in the country, but domestic animals that live in towns and inner cities are still being left abandoned, forgotten and badly treated. There are very few trained vet’s available to treat or vaccinate domestic animals or raise local awareness for the welfare of animals. As a result many animals:

  • Go unvaccinated
  • Are left sick and untreated
  • Are badly treated or abused
  • Are left abandoned on the streets
  • Become strays with no food or shelter

The Mission

Animal rescue centres in Arusha provide food, shelter and new homes for animals at risk on the streets. By taking them off the streets, they rescue the animals from being hurt or contracting deadly diseases like rabies. These animals get the best quality healthcare available and staff at the shelters provide round the clock care.

The Mission

Your role will be to volunteer your time to help give care to the rescued animals at the centre. Most of the animals are dogs and cats, with many being kittens and puppies that need extra care and attention.

  • Help feed and care for the animals daily
  • Assist or observe Veterinary surgeries or medical treatment 
  • Take the dogs for daily walks
  • Assist the staff that need to treat injured or sick animals
  • Help with wider community awareness initiative
  • Give donations to the project where you can, to help keep it going

Night life

The social life in Tanzania is amazing, because Tanzanians are so open, friendly and love a good laugh. Tanzanian’s are famous in East Africa for their partying. They really do know how to have a good time. Their DJ’s and musicians are some of the best in Africa and there are many bars, clubs and restaurants popular amongst tourists and volunteers where you can let your hair down and socialise with locals and people from across the world.
