Volunteering Tourism
This is our flagship project, it is the best tool for human contact and engagement at both local and international level. Volunteering is central if ACWF is to achieve anything. Tourism at a reasonable cost is what communities can offer in return for experience, expertise and some financial facilitation in improving local quality of life. The bulk of human capital for ACWF shall be from direct and indirect outcomes of tourism in its many variants. With good management very little goes a long way in Africa
i) Short term volunteering up to six months ideal for young people in their gap year, university students doing practical industrial attachment, workers needing a different exposure, researchers etc. etc.
ii) Long term volunteering, from one year onwards. Ideal for retired teachers and other professionals, research students and sponsored individuals wishing to work in Africa for a substantial period of time. You may start as a short term volunteer to see if you like it here and extend to a long term having used your initial stay to work out details of a longer volunteering.
iii) Good Safaris. ACWF shall organize eco tourism groups that shall have different packages in different combinations of visit to Rombo, Moshi and Arusha into our projects and other interesting places to give a firsthand insight on the way of life here. About a third of the country’s total area is protected to a certain degree as National Park, Game Reserve, Marine Park, Forest Reserve and the like which forms the core of our tourism industry, some activities include. Hiking to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro just shy of 6,000m (6km) above sea level (It is an endurance based five days hike to the highest point in Africa, the tallest free standing mountain in the world and so on and so on, no professional climbing knowledge and gear required), game tourism there are many national parks to choose from (Arusha National park which is a day tour from Moshi or Arusha is a convenient fall back plan when you do not have resources for extensive game tourism), Move to the Coast with nice beaches, Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar and Bagamoyo which are a trove of both the contemporary and past history, they were metropolitan centers when once our main export was African slaves. There is an abundance of our sad part of history in the forms of ruins, museums etc. etc. along the coast line and Zanzibar.
