  • 1 main kitchen
  • Living room
  • Dining Room
  • This is all surrounded by a lush garden
  • The volunteer community Centre

 

Neighbourhood

The Volunteer in Tanzania lodge is located in Kwa Mrefu, one of the neighborhoods in Arusha and its located on the slopes of Mt. Meru. It is a quiet and green area compared with the crowded city center of Arusha Town, which is only 20 minutes by public transport distance from the Inn by the Hill.

In the same street where the volunteer lodge is located are some local shops conveniently located for your daily groceries. You can buy anything from toilet paper, credits for your mobile phone, rice, sugar, bread, water, vegetables, soap, cooking oil to household tools.

Just across the street from the volunteer lodge you’ll find the dala dala, a minibus used to taxi passengers up and down the road. A dala dala sits about 10- 20 pax and it’s a safe and cheap way of travelling from A to B.

 

Hospitals

In case you fall sick, there are plenty of hospitals in Arusha where you will receive the best treatment possible. One of the supervisors will accompany you and make sure you are in safe hands.

 

Tembo Bar

 On the same compound as the volunteer in Tanzania we have the Tembo Bar. In the Tembo you will be enjoying your dinner, an afternoon drink and twice a week we host Swahili Classes, tought by Teacher Almasi.

 

The Tembo bar is not open for public. It has a separate entrance so if you’d like to invite your volunteer friends, let one of your supervisors know and we can open our doors.
