Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the

This program has
start dates every Wednesday throughout the year.
Volunteers on the Rainforest and Coastal Conservation project in Zanzibar stay at a forest camp in semi-permanent tents. Volunteers can expect to share a tent with up to? 5 other volunteers of the same gender. Forest Camp living is basic but comfortable with compost toilets, solar-heated showers and filtered drinking water.
