Gap Year Camps International inn Tanzania

Taking it a Notch higher


June 7th, 2011 by dipesh
Well five seems to be our lucky number at Camp Tanzania. The month of May has come and gone but just like last month, we hosted 5 volunteers. However, this group decided to literally take things a Notch higher. They went all out and lived life just like mbongo’s (locals). They helped with daily chores, farming, tending to cattle and working at a local School and of course an amazing safari! Hear it from the volunteers themselves (we are certainly very proud so thank you CT May Gappers!):
During my time at CT, I feel like I have experienced so much in a short time. From milking a cow to making a desk and I should say I have experienced things I never thought I would. Met some amazing people from fellow volunteers to all the staff at Camp Tanzania, who have made my stay the best it possibly could be. This really has been a trip of a lifetime. (Amanda Hough)
After attending camp Tanzania for a month, I can not recommend it enough. Camps International made every effort to ensure that we have had a taste of the real Africa – from sea weed harvesting to herding cows.

The people of Tanzania are friendly and happily invited us to share their culture. The staff made our stay as comfortable as possible. As a first time traveler, this has been a perfect experience. (Annie Hacket)
The past month I have spent in Tanzania has been absolutely incredible. I have loved every moment of my time here. Everything from milking cows & building desks for the local School on my volunteer projects to being in the middle of a pride of 15 lions in the wild on safari.
Every experience has been an unforgettable one. I have met some amazing people. Not only my campmates and the camps international crew but also the friendly hardworking locals in the village. I will never forget my fantastic experience of Tanzania. (Sarah Gurdev)
My first impression of the camp that would be our home in Tanga was one of pure awe. The camp is right on the Beach and has everything you could need for a comfortable month.
The staff were very welcoming and really made us feel like part of the family. And the food was far beyond what I had expected. We spent 3 amazing weeks helping the local community, the highlight being; seaweed farming, milking and herding cows, playing with the kids at the local school and making them new Desks. The month was rounded off with a 2 days safari at Tarangire and Ngorongoro which was absolutely spectacular.
All in all I can not recommend Camp Tanzania highly enough. I’m not sure three months is enough time to spend there, let alone the one month I had. I am truly envious of anyone who is planning on going to Camp Tanzania(Tom Reed)
The team at Camp Tanga and the locals made my time in Tanzania unforgettable. The month flew by with so many projects such as getting involved with locals daily jobs like  farming, milking and cow herding and volunteering in a primary School. Playing with the children in their lunch break was fun.
Out of the lot the new experiences a highlight of my trip would definitely be the safari. We went to Tarangire and the crater which were both incredible. With great timing, patience and some sharp eyes we were lucky enough to get so close and even see some of the rare animals.
I really couldn’t recommend Camp Tanzania enough, especially for a first time traveler like myself. With so many friendly faces you’ll feel right at home. This trip has been one I’ll always remember and there’s no doubt I’ll be back. (Emma Brassell)
