MICATZ can organize safaris and trekking at special fees for volunteers.

Safari
Safari, in Kiswahili, simply means "journey", but it has now become a synonym for an African wildlife adventure.
Our partner organization in Tanzania arranges a 4 or 5-day camping safari to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Park for volunteers. The 4 days safari does not include the visit to the Maasaï village). For more information, pictures and a video about the national parks in Tanzania see:http://www.tanzaniaparks.com/manyara.html

Transportation is in a land cruiser with maximum 4 other participants, so everyone has a window seat. 

You will camp in a spacious tent with beds and have access to toilet and shower, clean drinking water and get 3 meals a day. 

The safari staff includes a professional guide, cook and crew in charge of practical tasks and safety at the campsites. All vehicles have VHF radios. 

The safari starts and ends in Arusha.

The cost of a 4 days safari is $560 USD and a 5-days Safari is $700USD.

If the start dates for the excursion do not fit with your volunteer work stay, the coordinator can arrange a break in your volunteer job, so you can return to work after the safari or trek.
