	This placement would suit... People who want a travel Africa and take part in community projects, safari, Zanzibar chill out and optional Kilimanjaro trek. Camp Tanzania programmes operate from the Moshi area of Northern Tanzania, literally in the foothills of Kilimanjaro. As with everything we do there is a strong community and wildlife focus and there is probably nowhere better in the world to enjoy an experience combining these elements. Elements of CT2 Tanzania is home to over one-quarter of Africa 's wildlife and we have included our favourite safari route as part of your stay. For the really adventurous you can use your third week to climb Kilimanjaro or Mt Meru and to finish things off we have thrown in 10 days on Zanzibar Island at the end. Highlights School Community Project in the Kilimanjaro foothills 3-day Big game safari in National Parks 10-day Zanzibar 'Beach Life' including Dolphin and Spice Tours Swahili lessons, orientation and 24-hour on-site management Cultural excursion days including a visit to a Masai village Optional mountain week for Kilimanjaro or Mt Meru* Community Our Tanzania community project is based with Mbokomu Primary School in Korini-a short 5-minute walk from camp. There is years of sustainable project work at the school starting with the construction of a new school canteen for the 800 plus students who need to be fed every day. There are over 14 classrooms to be renovated, desks need building and water is currently available 250 metres away so we would like to bring a supply closer. The community project work lasts for 3 weeks of your trip and is the main focus and probably most rewarding part of your time with Camp Tanzania. Wildlife Safari: No visit to Africa is truly complete without one. A 3 day safari is included in your stay and you will drive out every day with a guide in specialist vehicles for game viewing drives. It is widely recognised that Northern Tanzania provides a backdrop for possibly the best safari experience in Africa and we haven’t cut any corners. We take you on a camping safari to Lake Manyara, Arusha, Tarangire National Parks. If you have never been on safari this will be something that you will remember for the rest of your life. Mountain Kilimanjaro: Kilimanjaro is the highest free-standing volcano in the world and the tallest mountain in Africa . At an altitude of 5895 metres it presents a formidable challenge. We take our time and as such over 95% of our climbers reach the top. Our trek lasts for 7 days and follows the stunning Machame Route to the summit, Uhuru Peak If you choose Kilimanjaro as your adventure package you will not be disappointed as you sit on the highest point in Africa watching the sunrise. Ocean Okay we have to start by coming clean with you. Camping is not permitted in Zanzibar so I am afraid you will have to make do with a comfy bed and a mixture of hotels and beach bungalows but we still get to refer to it as Camp Zanzibar . It's an awesome location and whilst we have included the basics like somewhere to sleep and some 'must do' experiences like snorkelling with dolphins and a spice tour; it is essentially a chance for you to chill out and live it up on the beaches.
