Promote Responsible Travel That Creates Lasting Impact

Tourism is one of Tanzania’s most important industries, contributing significantly to the country’s economy and supporting millions of livelihoods. However, safaris and packages are commonly arranged by tour operators in Western countries, meaning only a portion of the money reaches Tanzania and supports the local economy.  Typically, villages surrounding famous National Parks are among the poorest. ART in Tanzania is committed to creating responsible, community-based tourism that benefits local people, protects the environment, and supports long-term sustainable development.

As part of this program, you will help develop authentic travel experiences, promote sustainable tourism, support local guides and businesses, and contribute to marketing initiatives that showcase Tanzania’s incredible natural and cultural heritage while generating funding for community projects.

We offer different safaris to famous national parks such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Selous, Mikumi, and Ruaha. We also take tourists to Mt. Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. In addition, we have developed several one-day trips, including bird-watching, sports, music, Zanzibar activities, and Coral Islands trips. 

Your placement is tailored to your studies, experience, and interests. Depending on your background, you may contribute to several areas of sustainable tourism development.
