    Description

    Summary

    Art in Tanzania runs safari and tour operations in Tanzania as part of NGO fundraising. Interns help develop the tour programs, guiding and marketing our tours and safaris.

    Details

    Art in Tanzania looks to set itself apart from the crowd regarding safari and tour business by offering sustainable travel options. Safaris are commonly sold by tour agents located in the Western world. They sell the safaris, but only part of the money comes to Tanzania to support the economy.

    Typically, villages around famous national parks are the poorest of the poor. The profit from our tours comes to Tanzania and supports the Tanzanian economy and community development activities.

    Academic-level team leaders supervise your internship daily. We also monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your progress in your study program.

    The internship outcome is learning to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity and a better understanding of the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

    Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

    The program is ongoing, and we can adjust your start dates. We accept applications from all students and alums. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

    The typical daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.

    The start and end dates are flexible and accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania.

    You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable tours and safaris.

    The Benefits and Perks are as follows:

    Accommodation and meals are personal expenses. For 1-13 weeks, EUR 175 per week covers accommodation with breakfast and dinner and the student compound, and from week 14 onwards, it is EUR 125 weekly.

    Airport transfer is EUR 60 in one way, which is a personal expense.

    A charity visa for immigration, which costs USD 50, is a personal expense. A multiple-entry visa for less than 12 months is USD 250.

    We pay you a USD 100 monthly stipend, which is small but 2x Tanzania's national minimum wage. 

    Flights are a personal expense.

    Local transport, if any, is a personal expense.
