'To say it was truly fantastic is a complete understatement' Rhiannon Horsley 2004

Volunteer as a care worker at an orphanage, an English teacher in exceptionally lively schools or work on an Aids awareness program. Oyster has carefully selected a variety of suitable placements in and around the town of Arusha in the north of the country. You are based on the slopes of Mount Meru within reach of a bustling town, game parks and Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. Our volunteers throw themselves into the challenge of teaching and have great fun organising extra-curricular activities – even founding a swimming club. There is a great social life too!

The vast majority of our volunteers choose to extend their time in Tanzania and it's easy to see why.
