Tanzania Learning Service

• Help to give equal education opportunities to students in remote communities by working on projects at a Maasai school set up and run by Projects Abroad.
• Embark on an epic safari experience in the Tarangire National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro Crater, to see extraordinary wildlife, including some of the Big 5.
• Participate in Swahili lessons, cooking, drumming, and dancing, and spend a day with the nomadic Meserani tribe learning about their traditions.
• Hike through the majestic Materuni Waterfalls and learn about how Tanzania’s varied geography contributes to its world-famous ecological diversity.
• Learn about the connection between environmental sustainability and human wellbeing, fostering empathy, responsibility, and a global perspective.

This Learning Service programme in Tanzania offers the rare opportunity to live and work in the heart of a Maasai community - an experience few groups of young people will ever encounter. 

This immersive setting provides profound insight into a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for generations. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by rural communities, including the impacts of climate change, social inequality, and limited access to education.

Working alongside local people, you’ll contribute to initiatives designed to directly tackle these issues, putting theory into action. This combination of cultural exchange, meaningful service, and contextual learning creates an enriching experience that leaves a lasting impression on all involved.

You’ll also get to experience the incredible wildlife, impressive landscapes and unforgettable natural beauty of one of Africa’s most impressive destinations.
