Why Volunteer in Arusha, Tanzania?
IVHQ’s Tanzania volunteer program is based in Arusha, a lively city near iconic destinations like the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, and other national parks. Tanzania is renowned for its stunning wildlife, vast wilderness, and historical significance as the site of ancient human fossils.
