Housing is allocated by local NGOs, not by Freepackers - the descriptions are there to give you an idea of the type of accommodation, as it is very likely that conditions will vary on site depending on the number of volunteers, weather conditions, availability, etc. Each volunteer will be accommodated according to the stated conditions, but it is possible that the accommodation may not match the description or images shown on this site word for word, for example, in the case of annexed housing, renovations, relocations, etc.
Accommodation in shared residence
The accommodation offered is in a shared residence with other international students. You will stay in a dormitory-style room with 4 participants per room. It is possible to have a private room (double or twin) depending on availability and for an additional fee. Each room has its own bathroom, and you will have access to a shared kitchen to prepare your meals. Meals are not included, but a half-board option can be added depending on the residence.
The residences are located in pleasant neighborhoods of Moshi, close to public transportation and shops.
Â
Another option – Homestay accommodation
For the more adventurous, it is possible to stay with a host family, with half-board included. These families can host up to two students at a time. Availability is limited, and some families may live farther from the internship location.
The price differs from that of the shared residences – please contact us for more details.
Meals are not included, but a kitchen is available for you to prepare your own meals.
Moshi is a town in northern Tanzania, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Here, you are in the heart of Africa and encounter people such as the Chagga and the Maasai. The town has about 150,000 inhabitants; however, it appears—like many African cities—much smaller due to the fact that many unplanned settlements are spread over long distances outside the town. In addition, the majority of the population does not have the purchasing power that would make transactions comparable to those of a European city of this size, for example. Nevertheless, Moshi is a relatively well-developed town and all necessities can be found here, from ATMs to specialty shops, restaurants, and small supermarkets.
Moshi is the starting point for all climbs of Mount Kilimanjaro, and many safaris to the national parks of northern Tanzania depart from here. Kilimanjaro International Airport is located about 40 km from Moshi. Tourism and the trade of coffee and bananas have contributed to the city's growth.
The town is situated at an altitude of 813 m and enjoys year-round weather that people living in moderate climates consider very comfortable (compared to the hot and humid conditions often found on the coast or on the islands).
HIV and AIDS are the most significant issues, with estimates suggesting that up to 16% of the population is HIV positive. The resulting problems include countless orphans and street children, neglected elderly people, and sick individuals whom no one can care for due to a lack of financial means. Other issues are linked to poverty, lack of access to education, healthcare, infrastructure, and the destruction of environmental resources such as deforestation.
