Accommodation Catering
Guest house in Dar es Salaam
In Dar es Salaam you live with Kelvin's family in a stone house. The building is located in a quiet suburb of Dar es Salaam, in a gated community. In the house there are four bedrooms with mosquito nets and fans; two of the bedrooms are intended for the volunteers. A maximum of five volunteers stay in each of the two bedrooms – separated by gender.
The house also has a large patio with a sofa, a kitchen with a gas cooker and fridge, and a living/dining area with a TV, sofas, dining table, etc. The bathroom has a shower and a French flush toilet. WiFi usually works. In the accommodation you get half board; dinner usually consists of beans, rice and salad.
It is 30 km to the city center, 5 km to the beach and 2 km to the nearest market. There are regular buses to Dar es Salaam and Bagamoyo (cost per trip: around 50 cents). For other trips you can book a 3 Wheeler (Mototaxi).
Location
Dar es Salaam
Dar es Salaam is a bustling city on the Indian Ocean coast. Multicultural and a lively city beach - you will discover this and much more at our project location. The coastal town has developed from a fishing village to a metropolis over the past 100 years. Over 4 million people live in an area roughly twice the size of Berlin. Even today you can still find remnants of bygone times on every corner. Imposing buildings and structures in the city center always take you back to the colonial history of Tanzania.
But you can also feel the international flair everywhere. In hardly any other African city do so many different ethnic groups live together. Accordingly, the culinary selection is also diverse - trying the delicious and spicy street food is therefore an absolute must!
If you would like to immerse yourself in life in an African city, Dar es Salaam is definitely a good idea! Experience the hustle and bustle, explore the different districts and relax comfortably on the beach!
On-site procedure
Arrival in Tanzania
For your stay abroad in Tanzania, you fly directly to the coastal city of Dar es Salaam. There you will be picked up and welcomed at the airport by Ester, a team member of our Rainbow Family! After your arrival, she will take you directly to your accommodation so that you can recover from your journey. Your host father Kelvin will welcome you and show you your new temporary home. As soon as you have arrived correctly and have had a good night's sleep, your orientation program begins.
Orientation program in Dar es Salaam
Your orientation program starts together with the RGV team in Dar es Salaam. Ester introduces you to the culture and lifestyle of the local people. This will make it easier for you to get used to it. For example, she shows you how to shop at local markets and familiarizes you with the banks and withdrawing money in Dar es Salaam. Ester will also give you valuable tips on safety and hygiene on site.
Your first day in the project
As soon as you have familiarized yourself with everything, you can start with your project work. To do this, you will drive to the deployment site together with one of our team members the next day. You get to know your contacts there and become familiar with the area. Depending on how much previous knowledge you have and depending on the assessment and needs of the local specialists, you will be slowly introduced to the work or you will soon be assigned your own tasks.
