Volunteering at the Education Center in Zanzibar

The Volunteer House has four 4-bed rooms and one double room. There are a total of three showers and toilets for the volunteers in the Volunteer House. In the shared kitchen, in the dining and living room and on the terrace you can cook, eat and relax with the other participants. The large garden that is part of the complex is particularly inviting. In total there is space for 16 volunteers in the house. WiFi is also available here.

The Volunteer House is located in the Kwerekwe district of Zanzibar Town and is less than a kilometer from the central bus station. From there you can get to almost every place on the island in about an hour. There is also a market, restaurant and shop nearby. It takes about 20 minutes by bus to get to Stone Town.

Up to twelve volunteers can be accommodated in this accommodation. The house has three bedrooms, each of which can accommodate four to twelve participants. The bedrooms each have their own bathroom. There is also a kitchen and a living and dining room where you can hang out with the other volunteers. WiFi is also available here. Halima and Gabriella also live in the Beach House. The two look after the volunteers on site and take care of the food and cleanliness in the house.

The house is located in the Bububu district, north of Zanzibar Town and is situated on a large plot of land right on the beach. Perfect to relax there with the other volunteers. The bus station and the market are a ten minute walk away. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get to Stonetown by bus. The cost of a bus ride is around 10-15 cents.

Up to eight volunteers can be accommodated in the Volunteer House in Kizimkazi. The house has two bedrooms, each of which can accommodate two to four volunteers. There is also a shower and a toilet. WiFi is also available here. On the property there is also a stalactite cave, which is sometimes used for events, and a wooden tower with a small restaurant. From there you have a fantastic view and can look across the island in all directions.

The accommodation is located on the southern tip of Zanzibar in the idyllic Kizimkazi, which is about 200 meters from the beach. The house is surrounded by a large plot of land with a garden where a permaculture farm is currently being built. In about 20 minutes you can walk from your accommodation to the market and the nearest bus stop. From there you can take the bus to the Stonetown district for about 1 euro in about 60-90 minutes.

Turquoise blue, crystal clear sea, white sandy beaches, fascinating sights and lots of outdoor adventures - you can experience all of this while volunteering in Zanzibar! 

Historically speaking, the “Island of Spices” has played an important role. Because Zanzibar went down in history as an important hub of Arab and Asian trade relations. In addition to gold, ivory, spices and wood, slaves were also traded here until the 19th century. 

The archipelago's capital, Zanzibar Town, has a picturesque waterfront harbour. The mixture of African, Arabic, Indian and European influences that is characteristic of Zanzibar is particularly evident here. Colorful merchant houses with balconies and mango trees line the small streets.

In Zanzibar, a true paradise of dreamlike palm beaches and colourful, lively towns awaits you! Do you like spending time by the sea and want to explore this unique island? Then on to Zanzibar!

“Karibu Sana Zanzibar” – Welcome to Zanzibar! Use your free time, go on excursions with other volunteers or explore historic Stown Town. Turquoise blue, crystal clear sea, white sandy beaches, fascinating sights and lots of outdoor adventures - you can experience all of this in Zanzibar!

Your volunteer program in Zanzibar includes a day trip to Nakupenda Beach. At noon we go together with a boat to Nakupenda Beach, a sandbar, which is located a few kilometers from Stonetown in the middle of the sea. Depending on the tide, the sandbar is larger or smaller. We swim in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and eat and drink together. If the weather and the tides allow, we will stay until the evening and end the evening around a campfire. 

In front of Zanzibar's capital, Zanzibar Town, there is a pleasant scent in the air. Huge spice plantations stretch out here, on which turmeric and cinnamon, among other things, are grown. No wonder Zanzibar is also called the island of spices. In the Jozani forest in the south of the island you can, with a bit of luck, spot the rare red colobus monkeys or watch dolphins on the coast of the small town of Kizimkazi.

The old town of Stone Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. The colorful merchant houses and the small streets lined with mango trees look like something out of a picture book. Small shops that exude the scent of cloves invite you to buy or at least admire embroidered bags, traditional African clothing and handmade fabrics.

If you have a little more time available, for example after your volunteer work, you can also explore the Tanzanian mainland. How about a safari in the famous Serengeti? Or scale the snowy peak of Kilimanjaro!
