January 2026
We stayed at this project for three weeks, from December 6, 2025 to January 3, 2026, and had a very positive experience overall. The atmosphere was very relaxed, open, and welcoming from the first day.
Our main tasks were helping design and work on a new garden and park layout for the new school building, as well as teaching basic English to young children from kindergarten up to class 2. The work was never overwhelming — usually around 2 to 4 hours per day — and there was plenty of flexibility, including regular break days. Taking a few days off to go on our own small adventures was no problem at all.
Luka is an excellent host and project director. He made sure we had everything we needed at all times, including food, accommodation, and support with transportation. We ate together as a group, which created a strong family-like feeling with the teachers, workers, and children. Communication was easy in English, and learning some Swahili along the way was a nice bonus.
The project is a great fit for volunteers who enjoy a laid-back environment, working with children, and contributing to sustainable gardening or permaculture ideas without strict schedules or pressure. The location also offers opportunities to visit nearby national parks and cultural sites.
We felt very welcome and appreciated, and we would recommend this project to volunteers who are looking for a meaningful but flexible experience in southern Tanzania.
