Conservation Volunteer Tanzania

Opportunities for a conservation volunteer in Tanzania is heavily focused on education. Many of these placements involve teaching communities about conservation and exchanging knowledge on the subject. Tanzania possesses some of the most incredible wildlife parks in the world, which makes conservation an especially important subject for education.

A conservation volunteer who would best contribute and participate in conservation opportunities in Tanzania should feel confident in their presentations as well as interpersonal and speaking skills. A background in environmental studies would be beneficial, but not necessarily imperative if the conservation volunteer is passionate about issues concerning the environment and has educated him or herself on the subject.

Many conservation volunteering placements will be in public schools. For this reason, the volunteer should be comfortable working with children. In addition to teaching, the volunteer should also be open to interactions and an exchange of ideas. For a conservation volunteer working with children, it is also a good idea to prepare fun, educational games.

Any conservation volunteer in Tanzania will be offered the 7 day orientation program with BaseCamp, that includes 20 hours of Swahili language lessons. These lessons will help to equip a conservation volunteer with the skills to communicate more effectively not only with the children but the general community as well, thus greatly enhancing the volunteer's value at the placement and broadening the volunteer's overall experience. If a volunteer wishes to have a more extensive Swahili language course it can be taken at BaseCamp, in Tanzania or another alternative is to take language training prior to arrival date in your host country.
