Volunteer, go on Safari and Climb Mt Kilimanjaro with Team Vista and Tanzanian Safaris
The photos above and below have been taken from Team Vista representatives when they went on Safari in 2010. Our Team Vista in-country partner - Richard Mosha and his fiance Alisea run a Volunteer, Safari and Kilimanjaro Trekking company. Feel confident and happy knowing that you are in experienced hands with Richard and Alisea and 'Tanzanian Trails.'
Team Vista and Tanzanian Trails have come together to develop flexible, meaningful volunteer experience packages, which can include volunteering at Kilimanjaro Kids With Futures (KKWF), a safari trip through the Serengeti, Ngorongoroo Crater or Lake Mnyara and a trek up at Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Further information on volunteer packages and other trips ranging from budget to luxury can be obtained through Alisea from Tanzanian Trails. You can contact her at alisea.devaughn@tanzaniantrails.com Below you can see an example of a week volunteering in Moshi, Tanzania. |
