Program Overview
At dawn, the rising sun floods Tanzania’s cool grasslands with gold. School children walk along the roadsides, and vendors set out their wares. Tanzania is a country where the largest animals mingle with the smallest, and the landscapes are colorful and diverse. But more than anything else, it is the Tanzanian people who will make your visit memorable. Whether you’re exchanging ideas with a class full of energetic children, going on a safari with local guides or engaging with community members, you’ll experience the warmth and hospitality of Tanzania and the raw beauty of East Africa.

Community Service
While Tanzania has achieved nearly universal access to primary education, challenges continue to prevent many Tanzanian children from receiving a full education. Dilapidated infrastructure, limited accessibility, and social perceptions that undervalue education have all become significant challenges throughout the region. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about these complex issues first hand and collaborate with local efforts to support education initiatives.
Hands-on Learning
Hear from guest speakers about Tanzania’s history and recent progress, as well as the complex social issues that persist despite the country’s rapid growth. Learn how communities are addressing challenges involving health issues, gender inequality, limited education opportunities and more. Experience how the beauty of Tanzanian culture reflects the resilience and strength of its people. Participate in a batik dyeing workshop, market visits and traditional music and dance classes.
Adventure
Spend a day hiking at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world! Learn why this mountain is considered one of the world’s great mountaineering objectives. Visit the area where trekkers prepare to take on the peak, and embark on your own hike to stunning waterfalls. And no trip to Tanzania would be complete without experiencing one of the world’s most spectacular safaris. Drive through Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park, which naturalists around the world consistently call “the greatest wildlife show on Earth.” Look for zebras, lions, leopards, elephants, wildebeest, rhinos and other wildlife in their natural habitat!
Lodging
GLA operates a Home Base in Tanzania, located an hour from Kilimanjaro Airport in a small village outside Moshi. Accommodations are basic but clean and safe, with students sleeping in gender-segregated rooms with roommates and access to shared bathrooms with cold-water showers.
