  This trip was everything I didn’t know I needed and so much more! From the amazing people in the beautiful village of Kairo to everyone we encountered along the way, I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. The itinerary was full of fun activities, but also left enough space for us to just enjoy the beauty around us. I highly recommend doing the Kilimanjaro add on as well. It will push you past all limits you thought you had and really allow you to see your own resilience. Yes the trip is costly, but it is honestly worth every single penny. It really will change the way you see the world. Looking forward to the day I can return to Zanzibar and reunite with the wonderful rafikis I met while there!! Tupo pamoja!

  Such an amazing experience! Not only are you able to visit some incredible places in Africa, but you also develop a relationship with an awesome community. If you enjoy traveling and helping others I would highly recommend a GIVE trip!

  This trip was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect mixture between giving my traveling a purpose through volunteer and cultural immersion as well as being able to do fun activities like snorkeling and going on safaris. All of the accommodations were nice and comfortable, and all of the guides (Sarah Levitt, Ibrahim Bakili, and Ibrah Mbappe) were all fantastic. They helped us feel comfortable and safe while working with us instead of just telling us what to do. It was a fantastic trip, and I highly recommend it as either a first time traveling to get your feet wet or as a trip for a more experienced traveler as well. As someone more new to traveling abroad, it was a way to have all the details organized for me so that all I had to do was travel and soak in the experiences!

  GIVE Tanzania was more than I could have ever dreamed of!! I had always wanted to volunteer in Africa, and this trip with these people was the perfect way to do it! I am already planning to come back as soon as I can. Not only was I able to have a positive influence in the lives of others, but I am forever changed by this amazing experience! My entire outlook on life has become brighter and more positive since coming home, and I owe it all to this organization and the people who care about all that it stands for. I developed lifelong relationships with the people I met along the way, and feel so blessed to have learned and lived so much! I am now a GIVE Ambassador and am recommending this trip to everyone I know!

  Tanzania was the best trip of my life thanks to GIVE!! I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. Zanzibar island was incredible and all the people in the village of Kairo were the sweetest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met in my life. Volunteering in the village was life changing and I never wanted to leave. Arusha was very beautiful and the 2 day safari was a once in a lifetime experience!! So awesome with amazing safari guides from Green Paw Adventures! Sadie Kent and Sarah Levitt were outstanding guides and they made the trip that much better. This trip has changed my life in so many unexpected ways and I will definitely be back on another GIVE trip.

  To say that this trip was life-changing would be an understatement! Not only did it change my perspective on the way I view the world, it changed the way that I view my own life at home as well. The guides are AMAZING and made the trip so much more enjoyable. By the end of the trip, which was only two weeks, I felt like the friends I had made were more like a family. For the price of the trip, I feel like we got to do so many things, which I would consider once in a lifetime experiences. The food was great, and if there were any concerns with dietary needs, they were very accommodating. It was also amazing being able to actively see the difference that GIVE was making in the community and being able to establish great friendships with the locals at the same time. I would 100% recommend this trip to anybody wishing to get a full cultural experience, while helping the local community in the process. Already planning my next GIVE trip soon!

  This trip was amazing! Everyday was a new adventure. We got to experience and immerse ourselves in the culture there, as everyone was very friendly. I felt safe and welcomed where ever we went. This was truly a once in a life time trip. It was very well organized, and the people were incredible.

  There are no words to describe how extraordinary my GIVE Tanzania was. My travels to a village in Zanzibar turned out to be one of the most life changing experiences. The GIVE guides' caring ability to get my fellow volunteers and I indulged inand accustomed with the customs and culture of the people of Kairo was are a huge contributor to this unreal experience. The thrilling excursions, like dolphin and two day safari, are an opportunity of a life-time. This trip also made me 33 new friends each with their own story and background. The people of Kairo are very welcoming and heartwarming to our contributions to their goals of establishing a sustainable community. I highly recommend everyone to fall in love Kario and Tanzania and make new unbreakable life-long friendships!
