Volunteering
Volunteer with the children, then see the wild
Our safaris exist because volunteers kept asking to see Tanzania on their days off. The orphanage runs the volunteering programme; we run the safaris that help pay for it.
The Fruitful Orphanage and Day Care Center
Isaac and his team care for children in the Arusha region, providing a home, daily meals, school fees and a day care centre for families who cannot afford one. Volunteers help with teaching, play, gardening, cooking and maintenance — whatever is needed that week.
Placements, house rules, fees and application forms are all handled on the orphanage's own website. We do not run the programme and we do not charge a placement fee.
Safaris built around volunteer schedules
- Weekend trips: a one or two day safari that leaves Saturday morning and returns before Sunday evening.
- End-of-placement trips: a five or seven day northern-circuit safari, usually shared with other volunteers to cut the cost.
- Volunteer rates: if you are placed at the orphanage, tell us in your enquiry — we group volunteers together so the per-person vehicle cost drops.
- Airport and town transfers: included from Arusha for every safari.
Not volunteering? You still help.
Every visitor who books a safari with us sends 10% of their payment straight to the Fruitful Orphanage — food, school fees and running costs. You get the Serengeti; the children get a stable month.
