Volunteering

Experience authentic Tanzania by volunteering with local communities, supporting real change, and building meaningful connections that go beyond typical travel.

Have you ever dreamed of volunteering in Africa—living among local communities and making a real difference? At African Scenic Safaris, we believe in giving back. That’s why we proudly run Hostel Hoff, our very own local volunteer hostel in Moshi.

Hostel Hoff was created to give volunteers a chance to contribute meaningfully without the burden of high program fees. We work with trusted grassroots organisations, ensuring that your time and skills directly support local needs.

Accommodation is kept affordable, and volunteers can choose projects based on their interests—from education and women’s empowerment to health and environmental efforts. You’ll live, learn, and grow alongside the local community, gaining a deeper understanding of Tanzanian life.

Volunteering through us isn’t just about helping—it’s about connecting, learning, and creating memories that stay with you long after your trip ends.

On weekends, or before and/or after your volunteering, you will find fellow volunteers going on safari, climbing Kilimanjaro, traveling to Zanzibar, or doing one of many day trips in the local vicinity. A ready-made group of friends to enjoy traveling with!

The best company out there!

African Scenic Safaris were Amazing. We were a large group of students who climbed Kilimanjaro with them and went on a safari in Tarangire National Park.
