Course Description

a typical day on this gap project

Imagine waking up to a stunning sunrise over the warm Indian Ocean, and being just a few steps away from the beach? Well, our Zanzibar volunteers are just that lucky!

If you're interested in spending your days out on the ocean and working closely with local people, then you should join our tribe there!

Each day (Monday - Friday) you will get involved in a variety of different activities, which will include:

- Daily monitoring of dolphin-human interactions and dolphin tourism

- Swimming ethically with wild dolphins in their natural habitat

- Educating local people on the importance of marine conservation

- Running a conservation club for young children

- Facilitating ethical boat tour workshops

- Coral reef bleaching surveys

- Monitoring fishing activity

Weekends consist of free time, where volunteers can explore the local area, visit Stone Town, go scuba diving, visit restaurants, or just relax on the beautiful beaches!
