Amani Cultural Tourism Arusha

We welcome volunteers to our village to share skills and knowledge in our community led projects.

We are located on the slopes of Mount Meru Arusha, 19 km from Arusha town. The village is at 1600m elevation, surrounded by an abundance of fresh crops, banana trees and beautiful views. Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru can both be seen from various points through the village.

Our local community projects aim to educate both farmers and children in the village. We want to share different skills and ideas that can bring change to our community.

We also offer cultural experiences, mountain trekking and safari game drives for the volunteers where a portion of the profits go towards funding the community projects and kindergarten. For more information on these tours visit the websites below:

My name is Clemency and I will be your host during your volunteer experience. I was born and raised in the village and have been involved in helping the community for over a decade. I wish to welcome you to help continue this journey. Volunteers will be treated as one of the family members, come as volunteer and leave as friend. Volunteers will have the freedom to do their own things after daily work and weekends. You will have the opportunity to learn how to cook local dishes and enjoy fresh produce daily. Another way you can support the children and kindergarten is by donations and sponsorship. Please ask during your stay if this is something you are interested in. Together we can bring changes to the local community. We were: Born to serve Born to change Born to born New Born

Clemency is an amazing host, super nice and always available. His family is also great, the house was comfortable and the food was really delicious home made food. Because I was making videos I did all the activities available and I volunteered in the school and on the tree planting project, and I loved every second of it. I felt very safe and so so happy to be in the nature and in such beautiful village. Thank you so much Clemency for everything, I had a very special time in your house (:

We (vet and vet nurse) took part in the veterinary program and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each day we went out in the village with the local vet to help treat different animals. We learnt about many diseases that are exotic to our country and different farming practices. It was good to be able to share our knowledge and experience from back home to create animal health plans together with the local vet.
Clemency and his family were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We enjoyed learning how to cook the local dishes and playing football with the kids. We will miss our new friends and home.

Stay at Clemency’s place was no doubt the best experience in my life. The people in the village are friendly and extremely welcoming. Ms Witness’ food was something extraordinary, and always more than enough. The school is lovely and the work with the children filled my heart with love.
Asante sana to everyone, I have a new home now

Such a wonderful experience staying with Clemency and his family. From having a beautiful home in rural Tanzania, to learning about the local agricultural and spending time and educating the beautiful and lively children in Kipande, I would recommend this to everyone! Get out of your comfort zone and do some cool stuff here in Tanzania :)

Amazing experience in a hidden-gem location. Both the homestay and the school are lovely places with collaborative people. Clemency loves to treat a guest and Miss Witness’s food and care for the household are something special. There’s no time to get bored, but there’s still a chance to just get in touch with nature, listen to its music, stop for a second and just enjoy pure life as it is. Leave home with an adventurous spirit and some adaptability, and I’m sure you’ll be able to appreciate this experience to the fullest. ASANTE SANA to everyone I’ve met on my journey!
