Do you love children and enjoy playing with them? Would you like to see them running toward you with their little feet and big smiles? Join our daycare or primary school caretaker program, where you’ll help teach basic English—like letters, numbers, animals, colors, and days of the week—or simply enjoy quality playtime with them. Most volunteers join Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., giving you plenty of free time to explore the beauty of Tanzania. Relax in local cafés or restaurants, swim in hotel pools, hit the gym or join yoga sessions, take waterfall hikes, or go on safari to encounter wild animals up close in the Serengeti!

Tanzania is a land of extremes—it houses Africa’s highest peak and lowest point and is also home to a portion of the continent’s largest lake. Teachers who wish to explore some of Africa’s most fascinating geography can do so while teaching in Tanzania. All secondary schools in Tanzania use English as the primary language of instruction, and educators may be able to find teaching jobs in Tanzania in one of the country’s many private schools for local or international students. There are many opportunities to teach English in schools and private language institutes in Tanzania. Both paid and volunteer teaching jobs are available.
