Then you've come to the right choice!

Where in Africa?

  • Uganda

Africa – the very name says "Adventure!" And at the geographical heart of the African continent lies the extraordinary land of Uganda. Your opportunity to experience adventure while volunteering to serve the people of Uganda is here today! Explore the world's second largest lake, Lake Victoria, and see the headwaters of the mighty Nile River.

EE's volunteers work in our Kids Home , the School and rural Village. A country full of needs in contrast to its wild panoramas, Uganda offers an indelible experience you will never forget. For all its beauty, the needs in Uganda are great. Your Volunteer in Uganda service will make a difference. To Uganda. And to you.

  • Tanzania

Volunteer in Tanzania and experience life as a Masai warrior in one of Africa's most beautiful and scenic countries. Our volunteer project and cultural exchange in the Masai community can be varied as you want it to be and as flexible. Whether you want to just kick back and take in everyday life with your fellow volunteers and host family or whether you want to get involved with the local school , there is something for everyone here.

As you settle in to community life you can also adapt your experience as the days pass, from spending time with the family to trying teaching for the first time, milking the family goat to joining in with Masai celebrations! And even if you have nothing planned, each day the children will never be far aware trying to catch their house guest's attention!

These volunteer adventures are for you if:

  • You are interested in having a break, want to explore a destination, and also give something back to a local community.
  • You value meaningful interaction with other cultures - achieved through the medium of volunteering.
  • You value small group or tailor-made sustainable tourism practices that directly benefit local communities.
  • You do not have specific skills, but have a lot of enthusiasm and a positive attitude (OR if you do have specific skills, we will match your skills where possible)

Most of these trips are moderate, some of them even moderate in terms of accommodation, as we know that this is your holiday, and volunteering does not have to involve sleeping on the floor; ethical volunteering is our specialty - although we can arrange anything you prefer, and will gladly tailor-make a trip to suit your budget and requirements.
