Programme Costs

Volunteer Africa raises money to support the work of our Tanzanian partners through the fee that volunteers pay. You can see details of what your fee covers here.

Volunteers are expected to pay the full fee as we rely on the money raised by volunteers to be able to support the work of our partner organisations in Tanzania.

In addition to your programme fee, you will need to budget for your flights to and from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and your home country. Your programme fee includes travel from Dar to your project site, but PLEASE NOTE it does not include the cost of your travel back to Dar after your project time has finished. This is because many volunteers choose to do other things, such as climb Kilimanjaro, or go on safari, rather than travelling straight home (with places like Zanzibar, and some of the best safari parks in the world, it is worth allowing some extra time at the end). You will also need to allow for the cost of medical insurance, which is compulsory.

You will be expected to provide your own personal kit (i.e. sleeping bag, boots, backpack), and to pay for vaccinations and anti-malarial tablets (recommendations will be provided nearer the time). Finally, remember to budget for some spending money (for luxury items, stamps etc).
