About us: WHY CHOOSE US
It’s never easy to choose a volunteer project or volunteer organization when the stakes are so high. Time, money and the dreams of how you can contribute to different causes are incredibly precious to you. We know that because most of us started as volunteers as well. That’s why here; we’d like to present to you the top 10 reasons why we think you should consider us.
- Local Partners and Counterparts:Travellers Africa works closely with our local partner NGOs and community organizations, their staff, and your assigned counterpart. We together commit to assist volunteer participants to understand the cultural and technical aspects of their service project and become integrated into the local community.
- Accommodations and Cultural Immersion: Depending on the program, Travellers Africa has the opportunity to live with a local family in a home stay or apartment, in a guesthouse, or in on-site housing at an orphanage or monastery. This opportunity gives volunteers a unique opportunity to become immersed in the local community and culture.
- Weekend Tours and Excursions:A variety of hosted tours and excursions are available depending on the program length. Volunteer participants are also free on weekends to arrange their own activities with the assistance of our in-country staff.
#1. Our footprint across Africa is enormous: 50 projects across Eastern and Southern Africa, from Kenya to Cape Town and new projects coming soon. Stay tuned for that!.
#2. We put back much more into communities and conservation than what the volunteers contribute through their project fees. This is because our business partners contribute large portions of their revenue to community and conservation work and that includes employment to local staff in absolutely all of our projects. But that’s not all! When we choose project locations, we have two very important things in mind: Where there is a great need in communities and conservation and also where volunteers could make a difference while visiting Africa’s leading tourist destinations at a fraction of the price of the average tourist.
#3. We promote sustainable and responsible tourism! It minimizes the negative impacts of touristic activities on the environment, by contributing to maintaining and enhancing conservation through the return of revenues to protected areas, and the physical contribution of man-hours where needed.
#4. We offer 24 hour on the ground support to volunteers, and a proper detailed induction program upon arrival to prepare you for project work.
#5. In Tanzania we own and run our own projects and have excellent teams of people on the ground, so we are not an agency. When you volunteer with us, you are like family. We were founded in Tanzania, therefore our expertise and knowledge of this country are incomparable but we are committed to Africa’s future, with conservation and community projects, providing employment opportunities to locals and investing back into the country.
#7. We provide the highest level of services and the most incredibly fun projects because we know what we are doing! We have 14 years of experience in running volunteer projects and excellent volunteer reviews!
