Owner and manager, Amanda first came to Tanzania as a volunteer and is still actively involved with volunteer organisations in the area.

 

Below are two volunteer hostels which Amanda works closely with.  Both hostels offer accommodation, breakfast/dinner/laundry daily and can link you up with orphanages, NGO's and schools to volunteer in.

 

Both hostels were opened with the belief that if you want to volunteer you shouldn't have to pay for the experience therefore accommodation is kept at a minimum to allow this as an affordable option for anyone.
