How voluntourism is changing Tanzania safaris

How Voluntourism is Reshaping the Tanzanian Safari Experience

Welcome to the heart of Africa, where the majestic Serengeti meets the sky and Mount Kilimanjaro watches over vast expanses of wilderness! Here at Safari Multiways, a leading tour operator in Tanzania, we’ve witnessed a transformative shift in the safari experience. Voluntourism – a blend of volunteering and tourism – is reshaping the traditional Tanzanian safari, making it more meaningful and impactful. Let’s embark on a journey to discover how this incredible trend is changing the way travelers experience the natural and cultural treasures of Tanzania.

A New Way to Safari: Embrace the Voluntourism Movement

Imagine combining the thrill of spotting the Big Five with the joy of making a positive impact on local communities and conservation efforts. That’s what voluntourism in Tanzania is all about! It’s an opportunity to contribute to the land and peoples that make this country uniquely captivating while indulging in the traditional delights of a safari.

Why Tanzania?

Tanzania is not only home to some of the world’s most famous safari destinations but also a country rich in cultural diversity and natural resources. With over 120 ethnic groups, there’s a rich tapestry of cultures waiting to be explored. Additionally, the nation’s wildlife conservation areas and national parks are global treasures that require collective efforts to conserve for future generations.

The Impact of Your Visit

When you choose a voluntourism safari with Safari Multiways, you’re signing up for an adventure that gives back. Here’s how your visit makes a difference:

1. Community Development: Many of our voluntourism packages include projects like building schools, teaching English, or sharing your skills with local artisans. This direct interaction fosters cultural exchange and provides essential skills and infrastructure to the communities.

2. Wildlife Conservation: Participate in ongoing conservation projects such as wildlife monitoring, anti-poaching patrols, or habitat restoration. Your involvement helps ensure that Tanzania’s wildlife thrives for years to come.

3. Environmental Preservation: Engage in activities like reforestation or water conservation that help preserve the very landscapes you travel to see. Every tree planted and every water source protected helps maintain the biodiversity that makes Tanzania unique.

A Typical Day on a Voluntourism Safari
