Looking for artists, facilitators, coaches and teachers in Zanzibar, Tanzania

  Beschreibung

  We are a family running our own homely lodge in Zanzibar, an island off Tanzania. We have an eco-friendly inclination, trying our best to respect the local environment and give back to our local community while offering tourists an authentic Zanzibari experience. One of our favourite things about working in our lodge is meeting people from all over the world. We have also enjoyed hosting some short-term volunteers, a really great way to learn about other cultures.
  
  My family includes Haji, the lodge's owner, a charismatic local Zanzibari, myself who is an Italian nature and healthy nutrition lover living here for over 15 years, our four sons, dogs and cats and our working team.
  
  We would like to meet responsible people who share our passions and lifestyle and deeply respect the island with its people and culture and would like to support the homely lodge to thrive.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  The lodge is located within Chuini village, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Zanzibari culture. With locals frequenting the beach at our doorstep and our owner, Haji, being an enthusiastic host, you’ll have ample chances to learn about local traditions, practice Swahili, and explore the surrounding areas. Whether it’s observing traditional fishing, enjoying Zanzibari meals (with the option to join a cooking lesson), or exploring Old Town, beaches, and rural areas, you'll see firsthand how locals balance tourism with their traditional way of life.

  Arbeit

  Zanzibar is a beautiful place to live for many reasons, but we acknowledge that education and certain skills are lacking in the local community. To address this, we are eager to host teachers and facilitators who can provide our staff with valuable training and support in areas such as:
  
  . English and French language skills
  . Food and beverage production
  . Daily operations and management
  
  Additionally, we are seeking volunteers with previous experience to assist with:
  
  . Waste management
  . Gardening
  . Setting up our historical site
  
  We are also open to hosting creative and skilled professionals, including:
  
  . Artists and DIY experts
  . Social media specialists and photographers
  . Coaches, healers, meditation, bodywork, and yoga teachers
  
  These certified professionals would be welcome to organize classes, engage with our guests, or contribute to the improvement of our property in line with our current projects.
  
  Key Requirements:
  
  . Flexibility and Adaptability: A positive attitude and the ability to adjust to different situations are essential.
  . Responsibility and Cultural Respect: While Zanzibar has a relaxed, holiday atmosphere, it’s crucial to respect our culture and working environment.
  . Commitment and Autonomy: We value individuals who are loyal to their commitments and can manage their time independently.
  
  Important Considerations:
  
  Please refrain from seeking accommodation if your primary intention is to travel for leisure, meet new friends, or party. We are looking for individuals who genuinely wish to share their experiences and knowledge with us, and any meaningful connections should arise naturally from this shared purpose.
  
  Trial Period:
  
  We may require a two-week trial period to ensure mutual compatibility. If we feel that the arrangement is not a good fit for either party, we may shorten the stay accordingly.
  
  Thank you for considering this opportunity to contribute to our community. We look forward to potentially collaborating with you.

  The lodge is located right on a peaceful, off-the-beaten-track beach, offering a tranquil setting while still being just 30 minutes by car from Stone Town, where you can enjoy shops, cafes, restaurants, and some nightlife. Zanzibar, though an island, has diverse experiences across its east and west coasts. On your days off, you can explore the island by snorkelling, visiting Masingini or Jozani forests, or venturing to small islands and sandbanks. You might also enjoy relaxing on a different stretch of beach or cycling to nearby spice farms to taste the fruits and spices of Zanzibar.
  
  For transportation, you’re welcome to join our drivers on trips to town. Alternatively, you can walk to the main road and catch a local bus, tuk-tuk, or taxi motorbike.
  
  Many of our previous volunteers have become like family, joining us on outings and sharing meals. We’re relaxed yet focused people, and we’re happy to host committed travellers who are ready to help our lodge and family thrive. We kindly ask for serious and dedicated helpers—no time wasters, please.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  We can organise long stays. There's plenty of space to work (open spaces and a multifunctional room where wifi is available). The connection is quite good but for extra needs, I'd suggest buying extra MBps through our provider. No connection in the rooms.
