Teacher-Led Trips in Tanzania
Since 2006, Rustic Pathways has introduced students to the people and cultures of Tanzania. Through our school group travel programs, students experience everything from safari landscapes to Mt. Kilimanjaro climbs, while engaging with indigenous communities such as the Maasai of the Great Rift Valley and the nomadic Hadzabe. Students also work alongside villagers on collaboratively designed service projects, helping them integrate into the community and develop a meaningful local perspective.
When you think of Tanzania, you perhaps think of postcard photos: the vast savannas of the Serengeti, majestic African wildlife, the mighty Kilimanjaro towering overhead, the beauty of Zanzibar. But after experiencing life in Tanzania, you’ll remember the smiling faces of your friendly hosts, delicious food, and charismatic cultural experiences of this fascinating country. — Patrick Ziemnik | Tanzania Country Director
