Africa is home to an immense variety of stunning
scenery, exotic cultures, ancient civilizations,
and abundant wildlife. Volcanic peaks draped
in forest rise in the distances, and lions and
cheetahs roam the dusty savannahs. Tribal groups
such as the Masaai still herd and hunt in the wild
plains, and interaction with these communities is
a truly special experience. The people here love
to sing, dance, and laugh, and their optimism and
genuine appreciation for life is infectious.
Rustic Pathways has five exciting programs in
Tanzania. Our service projects enhance children’s
learning environments and include teaching
arts, sports, and English. Living among locals
also affords the unique opportunity to learn
Swahili or cook Tanzanian cuisine. Whether
contributing to community service projects,
climbing the mighty Mount Kili, or spotting
exotic wildlife, you are invited to join us as we
delve into Africa’s hidden riches.
Combine one or more of our amazing African programs for the ultimate African summer! If you would like to inquire about any of our African programs please email us at africa@rusticpathways.com.
