Please email us without any obligation you send us your CV/resume in English, and your desired time period, and within a few days we will suggest to you a camp/lodge/hotel where an internship is possible for you. You can also specify which department/activity within the camp/lodge/hotel you are interested in. There is no obligation for you until you decide on a hotel that we suggest to you.

Safari-Lodges, Hotels and Safari-Camps in Tanzania
One safari camp which opened in July, 2008 is located in the Ikoma Open Area, North-West of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, not far from the border to Kenya and a 4 hour drive to Lake Victoria. The camp is situated on a rocky cliff protruding high over the surrounding savannah. Twice a year, the world-famous migration of wildebeest takes place in the area, when two million wildebeest and zebras - followed by hungry predators, migrate between the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti (August - October). However, throughout the year, the area is full of wildlife. The camp is used as a base for game drives to the Serengeti, and for hiking safaris and night game drives in the Grumeti Area. The camp has 10 spacious tents with toilet and showers and 7 bandas (traditional round huts of the Massai), as well as a thatched-roof reception and restaurant, where the lunch boxes for safari tourists are prepared. It is of standard category. As an intern, you can participate in all areas of the camp, such as preparation of the camp for new groups, welcoming guests and customer support, purchase and planning of food and supplies, preparation and implementation of activities such as bush lunches and excursions, and assisting with improvements and further development of the camp and activities in the area. Interns are accommodated in the camp and should stay at least for a month. The village of Mugumu is at a distance of around 2 km (1.5 miles).
Outside of Karatu, the last town before entering into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the same operator runs a 4-star hotel with 30 rooms, restaurant, bar, pool and night entertainment. The hotel is located on a hill with a view deep into the southern Ngorongoro forest and the surrounding coffee plantations. It serves as a base for safari trips to Ngorongoro crater and Lake Eyasi, and as a stopover for tourists heading towards the Serengeti which is located more in the west. Here, you can also be employed in services such as front office, planning and implementation of events, activities and cuisine. As the hotel has no accommodation for employees, would you stay in a guest house in the village of Karatu, where the other hotel employees live, about 5 minutes walking distance to the hotel. This will incur a monthly rent.
This camp is situated in the Ngorongoro National Park, about 140 km from Arusha, overlooking the Lake Eyasi. There are 20 comfortable and fully furnished tents, all with shower and toilet for 2 guests and a large restaurant tent. Tourists usually reach the camp in the late afternoon and spend the evening and night there before continuing the next morning on their safari. At the camp, the lunch boxes are prepared for the subsequent day's safari. The accommodation for trainees is in the same camp in spacious tents, which are also used for the tourists; may you share this with another intern. Since it is expensive to get permission for you to live in the national park, we need at least 6 months lead time for this internship.
This 4- star lodge is located in Kidagaa Beach, about 40 km south of Dar-es-Salaam on the beach. It has 6 bungalows with a total of 8 interestingly decorated rooms, a restaurant and a bar.

On the site of a historic farm building, in a coffee plantation near the entrance to the Kilimanjaro National Park, an Irish family, in 1932, built cottages and operated them as a hotel for international Kilimanjaro climbers. For decades, it was the only place for visitors, including many well-known personalities. The grandson of the Irish family, who was born in Tanzania, today runs the hotel and tries to preserve the historic charm of the property. Interns should stay for at least 6 months and be active in the fields of management, kitchen or technology. You should be at least 22 years old. In April and May the hotel is closed.

"My name is Denise, I am 18 years old and come from Germany. I am an intern for five months in the Highview Hotel Karatu, Tanzania and think it's great here! As I start my training as a tourism clerk next year, I decided for this internship. Here at the hotel I get exposed to each department. I have worked in the warehouse, in the Procurement Department, in the kitchen and at the front desk. The staff are all super nice and I'm very quickly made friends. Evenings are spent in bars, discos, and people meet in the city to have fun. It is a great opportunity for me to gain a lot of great experience and I am overjoyed that I have dared to take this step to come here." Lots of love, Denise
"I really enjoyed my time in Ikoma. After two weeks of getting accustomed to being in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but stunning nature, I was able to enjoy my stay very much. The absolute deceleration of space and time helps discover oneself in a fabulously beautiful and wildlife-rich environment. The all-male team is incredibly nice and helpful and if you yourself try, you will be quickly integrated into the team. Due to the distance from other volunteers, you will be "forced" to socialize with the locals contacts and can quickly form deep friendships and gain insight into life off the normal tourist track. Therefore, I would recommend Ikoma to all who want to get to know the country and people. My experience during the few days in Moshi was that many volunteer workers meet with other volunteers there. This is certainly quite normal, as they come from the same culture and once feels a kinship. However, contact with the locals is what makes the trip complete. For me, the time there was very rewarding because I was able to learn a lot about a culture, a new country, its inhabitants and probably the most about myself." (Julia)
The accommodation depends on your location. Either you stay at the hotel/lodge/camp or in external housing in the area. We will share this with you ahead of your visit. For external housing extra costs of between 200-350 usd per month may be incurred, which we will also tell you exactly as soon as we suggest an internship to you.

Karatu

Karatu is a large village in the immediate vicinity of the Ngorongoro Crater. Surrounded by forests, coffee plantations and cattle herds, this site extends over a long distance along the dusty red road connecting Arusha Ngorongoro and Serengeti. All safari tourists who are traveling to the north of Tanzania pass Karatu. Hence, Karatu has experienced in recent years, a revival and development thrust. Some hotels and other services such as restaurants, small supermarkets, Internet cafes and garages have recognized the proximity advantage of Karatu. There are even several ATMs and busy nightlife.
Karatu is also the capital of the larger Ngorongoro/ Lake Eyasi area and has therefore, also shops with products aimed at the rural population. A special attraction is the market in Karatu on 7th of each month, one of the largest markets of Tanzania. Besides, many members of the various tribes of the region such as Maasai and Iraqw Datoga travel to Karatu to sell their products. Part of it is the cattle auction.
Sanya Juu

The village of Sanya Juu has grown significantly since 2010, when the road was paved to reach Boma Ng'ombe. The travel time has since, significantly reduced and has improved access by public transport (Daladala). In half an hour, you reach Ng'ombe in Boma, located midway on the great road between Arusha and Moshi and close to the Kilimanjaro International Airport. So, while you are in the rural areas, you have quick and easy access to larger cities. In Sanya Juu, the commercial center of the Siha District, there are now a variety of small shops where you can buy the most necessary things.
The Siha District is the region between Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. The region is sparsely populated, mainly by Maasai, who are there with their herds during the rainy season. Wameru and Waarusha are other tribes of the region; they are Maasai, who started with agriculture generations ago.

In Tsavo, Kenya, we offer volunteering and internships in a private wildlife sanctuary - the Lumo Sanctuary. This is a private reserve, which borders the Tsavo National Park and the Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary without any barriers, i.e., the wild animals roam freely between the National Park, Taita Hills and Lumo. It is a savannah landscape with rocky inselbergs. The sanctuaries are full of wild animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, eland, kudu, lions, leopards, ostriches, etc.
Near the protected area, there are four villages; accommodation for participants is at the ranger's quarters. The drive from Moshi, Tanzania to Lumo takes about 3 hours.
You would first arrive at Moshi and spend 1-3 days (accommodation provided at no additional cost) to take part in our introduction. Then you drive with a staff of Camps/ Hotels to your internship location.
In the case of Ikoma, which is located northwest of the Serengeti, it is necessary to drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park. This will incur the entrance fees for National Parks (USD 50 per car for the onward and return journey, totaling 200 USD). Here, you of course, get to admire this natural wonder of the world. The location of the internship is outside the national park, i.e., there are no National Park costs for the stay within the camp.
Getting To Moshi
You book your flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). If the flights to Dar-es-Salaam (DAR) are much cheaper, you can also fly there and then book a separate connecting flight from DAR to JRO. From JRO airport, we pick you and take you to your accommodation in Moshi.
