Spend 6 or 10 weeks living, travelling and experiencing one of the most extraordinary countries in the world.
Safari across world-famous national parks. Chase waterfalls beneath Mount Meru. Explore coffee country. Cycle through banana plantations. Learn Swahili. Eat local food. Meet communities across northern Tanzania & Zanzibar
Your internship is only one part of the adventure. Tanzania is the rest.
Tanzania is the kind of country where one weekend can mean watching elephants on safari and the next can mean swimming beneath a waterfall. It’s home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, tropical Indian Ocean islands, enormous lakes, colourful towns, coffee farms, Maasai communities and some of Africa’s most famous wildlife. And because you’re not simply passing through, you get something most travellers don’t: time. Time to explore. Time to make friends. Time to find your favourite cafe. Time to learn some Swahili. Time to stop feeling like a tourist and start feeling like Tanzania is somewhere you actually know.
Most Saturdays, grab your day bag and get ready to go somewhere new. Adventure Days are built into your Academy experience, taking your cohort across northern Tanzania for hiking, swimming, cycling, wildlife, food, culture, village tours, coffee plantations, kilimanjaro & more!
