Arusha volunteers extra activities (1)
1. ARUSHA VOLUNTEERS – Extra Activities
Weekend Outings
During weekends can participate in shorter excursions like for example a visit to "Arusha National park",
the closest national park to Arusha town. Arusha National Park is often overlooked by safari goers, despite
offering the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within a few hours.
Tour Options
“Safari”, in Kiswahili, simply means "journey", but it has now become a synonym for an African wildlife
adventure. Why not have an African wildlife adventure while you are in Tanzania?
A 4 or 5-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro
and Serengeti National Park can be arranged for volunteers.
For more information, pictures and a video about the
national parks in Tanzania see:
http://www.tanzaniaparks.com/manyara.html
The safari starts and ends in Arusha.
Transportation is in a land cruiser with maximum 4 other
participants, so everyone has a window seat.
You will camp in a spacious tent with beds and have access
to toilet and shower, clean drinking water and get 3 meals a day.
The safari staff includes a professional guide, cook and crew
in charge of practical tasks and safety at the campsites.
All vehicles have VHF radios.
If the start dates for the excursion do not fit with your
volunteer work stay, the coordinator can arrange a break
in your volunteer job, so you can return to work after the safari or trek.
