Weekend Travel Options

While volunteering in Tanzania, you can never miss going for a safari to spot Africa's Big 5. Keep yourself free for a weekend, just to explore Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Apart from that, there’s so much to do in Arusha that you’ll surely fall short of time. Volunteers also go to the beaches to relax. In Zanzibar, you'll get a lot of things to do, including water sports like snorkeling and Scuba diving. Volunteers in Arusha also head out to Masai village to witness the life of the Masai people and can also take a day trip to Hot Springs or Coffee Plantations near Arusha. There’s actually so much to do in Tanzania, that you might just fall short of time - it’s good to plan your weekends beforehand, to keep time for everything that you wish to do!

Go ahead and choose your weekend tour. In case you have any doubts or wish to customize your trip, simply write to us at traveldesk@volunteeringsolutions.com and we’ll help you plan your weekend!
