Volunteer Projects
Volunteering with us in Zanzibar could mean anything from working with Marine and Beach Conservation in our Zanzibar Environment Protection Project in Zanzibar, to teaching children in Uroa Fishing Village or HIV/AIDS work in Zanzibar Islands…
Zanzibar is a place of the senses and history: the sound of untamed Indian Ocean Breezes; the feel of the rhythm and charmed hospitality of its people; the sight of Zanzibar sun rising divination across open plains; the smell of rain on a dry earth; and the taste of untamed spices and adventure…

With extensive operations on the Heart of Stone Town Zanzibar, and a solid network of partners, we have first hand-picked our favorite beach safari and adventure travel trips, and can facilitate groups, short term volunteering, and numerous other tailored travel packages.

Surrounding the beautiful area of Zanzibar lies the Historical Stone Town with many children, some of who are orphans, in need of education and care. There are some local crèches and day care centers which provide a place for children to go. Many of these places have little or no resources for play or education, even though the local carers try their best to make do with what they have. Our vision is to assist the carers and teachers by helping with basic learning, fun activities and lots of play for the children – in some places there are as many as 100 energetic children to be looked after! Volunteers play a huge part in this assistance and form special bonds with the children and teachers. Zanziplanet Tours also help with other needs in the community, including HIV/AIDS awareness programs, assist with the care and improving facilities for local orphans, farming to encourage healthy living and refurbishment of important community buildings. This project, with its adorable children, the chance to give important HIV messages and see the rewards of improving community facilities is truly a life changing experience. Read More…..
