The Global Adventure Safaris

About me

Safari, in Kiswahili, simply means "journey", but it has now become a synonym for an African wildlife adventure.

In Tanzania arranges a 4 or 5-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park for volunteers. For more information, pictures and a video about the national parks in Tanzania see:

Transportation is in a land cruiser with maximum 4 other participants, so everyone has a window seat.

You will camp in a spacious tent with beds and have access to toilet and shower, clean drinking water and get 3 meals a day.

The safari staff includes a professional guide, cook and crew in charge of practical tasks and safety at the campsites. All vehicles have VHF radios.

The safari starts and ends in Arusha.

The cost of a 4 days safari is 680 USD and a 5-days Safari is 850 USD.

You will also be asked to tip the cook and driver at the end of the trip, 5 USD per day to the cook, 10 USD per day to the driver.

Kilimanjaro trekking requires equipment such as jacket, pants, hiking shoes, sleeping bag, walking sticks etc. All equipment can be rented in Arusha. Costs are approximately 165 USD.

During weekends you can participate in shorter excursions like for example a visit to “Arusha National park”, the closest national park to Arusha town. Arusha National Park is often overlooked by safari goers, despite offering the opportunity to explore a beguiling diversity of habitats within a few hours.

If the start dates for the excursion do not fit with your volunteer work stay, the coordinator can arrange a break in your volunteer job, so you can return to work after the safari or trek.
