Volunteer in Tanzania with IVHQ from $24/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

Every step of the process was so well taken care of at IVHQ, from registering to 24/7 support on the ground. I felt safe, cared for, and supported in this unique experience. Besides the fact that Tanzania is just an amazing place with very special people. My placement at a local hospital was well vetted, the IVHQ staff regularly checked with me to ensure the appropriate match, and I had extra opportunities for health outreach in the villages, drug/alcohol rehab center, and women's groups. The program was flexible around tourist opportunities around the work schedule - I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, camped on safari with experienced guides, and the staff also was on hand to take us on a whim to local waterfalls, hikes, and restaurants. Highly recommend this program. It was everything I wished for plus more.

My experience with IVHQ was amazing. They have so much information given about what is needed for travelling and what to expect during the program. I barely had to ask any questions as all the information was there and easy to find. They were very helpful and understanding also as I had to postpone my trip due to covid travel restrictions and have also kept in touch since I have completed the program. I would highly recommend volunteering with IVHQ as they are very helpful, kind and friendly both through email and in person.

This is truly the trip of a lifetime! I got to help people around the world, make new friends that I never would have met, and make unforgettable memories! It was so rewarding to volunteer as a Nurse and Childcare Provider. I am already wanting to volunteer again soon! I also had epic experiences like going on a safari in the Serengeti and snorkeling at Bill Gates's island! Truly a trip of a lifetime. If anyone is hesitant, JUST GO! You will be so happy you did. I only wish I could've stayed longer!

I previously volunteered in South Africa on a 12 weeks mixed programme doing sports development and surf outreach where I fell in love with the children and met so many new friends all over the world. I then went onto volunteer on the woman’s education in Arusha Tanzania straight after my programme in SA. This made me truly fall in love with Africa. The way the programme was run was insane and I can’t thank all the hosts enough. From enquiring about programmes to still now weeks after finishing the programme, the support I’ve had from IVHQ and the hosts in Tanzania has been amazing. I really enjoyed my time and placements and I would always look at volunteering with IVHQ, I don’t think you can get any better than this.

Don’t hesitate. I did not want to leave. You will make great memories, make an impact, and meet some great people as well. The crew down there has all their bases covered and they are well experienced. They fed me better than I eat at home, they were very fun and friendly, I even gave many hugs before I left. Couldn’t recommend this enough. I actually made an Instagram while I was down there just so I could stay in contact with all the amazing people I met. I will be going back next year. Can’t wait.

Arusha is a vibrant city and you can't help but be changed when you volunteer here. The endless joy and energy of the children is infectious, and the support given by the local team allows you to give all your energy back to them. I spent 5 weeks here and was constantly busy with my program during the week, and then adventures on the weekend. The people are super friendly, and coming from Sydney it was a huge culture shock but managed to adapt quite quickly with the support of other volunteers and the local mummas.

My trip to Tanzania was the best month of my life. Wasn’t sure what to expect at first but it turned out to be the most amazing experience. Meeting new people, talking to the locals, dancing with the mamas. The programme itself was incredibly rewarding and though challenging, completely exceeded my expectations. There is also quite a social aspect of this trip was a nice break in between placement and volunteering which was a nice way to get to know others. Will definitely be returning to Tanzania with IVHQ.

We were looking for an organization that could offer different programs for a family. IVHQ was that organization! They offered programs in a medical group for my daughter, sustainability group for my son and teaching group for myself - all this and we could stay in a private room in a homestead. We booked several outings with IVHQ. They listened to our concerns and everything went very smoothly. We saw the beautiful Ngorongoro crater (safari), visited a Maasai village and hiked Kilimanjaro up to first base: Mandara hut. On our spare time we visited local markets, a baby orphanage and got to know Arusha. The people were very friendly and we had great conversations with local people. Safety is an issue but it was not a problem at all, only be aware of it.

Our 1 week in Arusha, Tanzania was a great experience, only wish we would have stayed longer.
