Tanzania
Home to many of Africa's most instantly recognisable natural wonders - the snow capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, the wide expanses of Lake Victoria, the stunning Great Rift Valley, the plains of the Serengeti and the peerless tropical island of Zanzibar – travel in Tanzania offers a truly dizzying insight into east Africa.
Home to perhaps the greatest natural diversity in Africa, it's the ideal place for wildlife spotting with Africa's second largest number of bird species, the continent's biggest mammal population and three-quarters of East Africa's plant species – all of which means volunteering in Tanzania is ideal for people interested in conservation. However, due to the widespread poverty that plagues the country there are opportunities to volunteer with children in Tanzania and work with grass-roots community projects.
