You should arrive into Kilimanjaro International Airport (airport code JRO) on Sunday start date.
You will be met at the airport by one of our staff or an appointed driver who will be holding a named sign.
They will take you to your accommodation where you will spend the rest of your day at leisure.
Day One: Our staff will give you an orientation and will accompany you to the School. You will be shown how to manage the commute (bus, taxi, walking).
You will be introduced to the school director and discuss your role at the school. Volunteers typically work at morning and an afternoon shift each lasting about 3-5 hours.
About Dressing Code
Dress code varies from country to country.
We ask that you should adopt a smart and responsible image during the time in the Class and the community.
The general rule of thumb for girls is to cover your shoulders and thighs and for men to not take their shirts off.
Whilst we do not wish to impose strict regulations on our volunteers, we do ask that you respect the school community and the local culture during your travels.
Dressing appropriately will earn you the respect of the people you’ll be working with.
Dressing Code Details
It’s a good idea to take some nicer clothes for the weekends and special occasions, but please avoid tight and very short clothing. You should also avoid clothing that may have potentially offensive slogans on it.
Tattoos and piercings should be covered where possible whilst you’re at your placement, particularly if you’re working with children.
The amount of extra spending money you should take depends on where you travel to and how many travel activities you plan to undertake during your free time.
If you plan to go for a safari and climbing in Tanzania then you should budget accordingly.
However, for other general expenses, you should find $80-$150 per week a suitable amount.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to travel during your free time, in fact, we encourage you to travel during your free time. The program have been designed so that you have weekends off, this gives you the opportunity to explore the local area.
We will provide you with any kind of travel tips you need to plan any independent adventures, for the once who will like to go to wildlife safaris or climbing further more.
