Tanzania

From the snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro, through the plains of the Serengeti to the white sandy beaches on the Indian Ocean, Tanzania offers some of the world's most renowned tourist sites! Yet despite its incredible natural environment Tanzania is still one of the poorest countries in the world.

True Adventure offers the opportunity to work on school projects in the stunning but less travelled south, giving students the chance to immerse themselves in an area away from the main tourist routes, or teams may choose to complete a project in a traditional Masai village in the North.

In terms of trekking Tanzania again offers some breathtaking options from the extinct volcanoes - Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro - in the north on the edge of the Great Rift Valley to the less well known but no less spectacular Udzungwa and Kitulo mountains of the central region.

Teams may then choose to finish off their expeditions with a trip to any one of a multitude of incredible game reserves or take a dip in the Indian Ocean or beautiful Lake Nyasa on the border with Malawi, having made a difference to the lives of some of the poorest people in the world.
