TANZANIA SALTworld EXPERIENCE June – JULY 2020
This trip to Tanzania will be a life-changing event for anyone who wants to be immersed in another culture and also have a profound impact on the lives of many. You will be completely off the grid on the southeastern coast of Africa, where you will experience the thrill of a safari and the tropical island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania. Along the way, you will participate in social change projects while serving and learning from others.
Trip overview: Your journey will begin in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We will travel one hour to Moshi, Tanzania. During your first week, you will be engaged in a variety of social change projects and serving the local community, as well as learning from the resilient people. You will first have the opportunity to tour a dispensary that SALT world is committed to helping complete. The dispensary serves approximately 12,000 people! Next, you will spend the day at a primary school that is home to many children with disabilities. You will have experience working with the children, washing clothes, and helping maintain their garden. Furthermore, you will spend a day at a hospital in the children’s wing and learn about mental health care in Tanzania. The following day, while at Upendo Orphanage, you will interact with the children. You will spend the day playing with the children, feeding them, and helping them during nap time. You also will visit Sambarai, where a kindergarten program was established, and meet the teachers and children. You will help with the building of the dispensary as well as spend time with the teachers and the children of the school. You will also tour the local university and meet with faculty members, students, and staff who run the dispensary.
After the social change projects, you will experience breathtaking views as you embark on a private safari through the wide-open and endless Serengeti plains and the wildlife haven of the Ngorongoro Crater. You will see phenomenal wildlife in its natural habitat. Starting in Ngorongoro, you will descend 2000 feet to the floor of the crater and explore the forest areas that are inhabited by monkeys and elephants, the lake area, where you may see flamingos and the open savannah where lions hunt for food. You will then enter into the Serengeti, which is the largest and most famous park in Tanzania, known worldwide for its endless plains, wildebeest-migration, herds of lions and other predators such as hyenas, cheetahs and leopards.
After completing your safari, you will fly to the Island of Zanzibar, which lies approximately 23 miles off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean, and offers white sandy beaches, snorkeling, and immense, rich history. The Island has attracted travelers from all over the world as the island is known as “Spice Island” for its rich spices and history as Old Stone Town, which was one of the main centers of East African slave trading. You will tour the winding streets lined with shops and bazaars as well as experience the local culture. Zanzibar is also a snorkeler’s dream due to vast amount of coral and tropical fish.
This project will be led by Dr. Brande Flamez, SALT world’s CEO. Brande has traveled all over the world engaging in social change projects. She is excited to answer any questions you might have and share how this trip allows participants to serve others, but will impact their own life as well.
