Volunteer houses
Our volunteer houses are more than just a place to stay. They're where friendships are formed, stories are shared, and everyday life in Tanzania begins.
Located across Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, each house is managed by our local team and positioned close to the community partners you'll be working alongside.
In Arusha, all volunteers stay at our main volunteer compound near the city centre. In Zanzibar, accommodation is spread across Stone Town, the East Coast, and the South East Coast, allowing you to live within the communities where your placement is based.
