What's this?
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There will be a variety of things to learn such as culture, way of simple living, local food, local language, skills with local community in general (such as weaving Mkeka mat, preparing ugali, looking after cows and goats in the field, washing clothes and braiding hair for example. We can teach you some Swahili so that you can interact with the population of my village and say all the necessary greetings which are very important for Swahili people. In my village outskirts live many Maasai tribes. If you like we can visit them, see the way they live, eat together and if you want you can also buy some traditional Maasai jewellery.

My village is a very nice traditional little town. We can visit the where abouts either by foot or we can rent bicycles to experience the ultimate tanzanian way of life. Nearby cities we can also visit by taking the bus.

If you like I can help you to organise a trip to Mikumi National Park, Selous Game Reserve and Udzungwa National Park for a very low price.
Help

Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?
In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allow this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteer‘s stay. (This will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents, “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.

$5 day towards food costs

I stayed for a week with Said and his family and had such an amazing time! The village is very charming and its walkable to restaurants and marketplaces. We spent several days playing football and frisbee with kids in the neighborhood which was a great time!

I spent 10 days at Said's place. I stayed with my friend Claire and we absolutely loved it. In the evenings, we taught the kids English and Maths and also played some games and sung songs with them. During the day there isn't much to do so make sure you bring some entertainment for yourself and a good book. However, Said did offer to teach us… read more

I'll never forget my week in Said village. First time as a teacher, and what a rewarding experience. I taught english and geography to a bunch of kids from the neighborhood. They are talented for their age and really want to learn, wich made it easier for me.
Also we carried water, made bricks, visit a Maasai clan, but mostly played football. Said… read more

I stayed at Said’s place with a friend for 12 days. If you like to get in touch with the real african life and culture and if you like to see how it is to live in a simple way (e.g. cooking with charcoal, no running water) it’s the perfect place to experience that.

I spent two weeks with Saidi and his family and I had a good experience after all.
Before coming here I had a strong desire to learn more about African cultures and traditions,so Saidi gave me the chance to experience African lifestyle.
His family is very welcoming and nice, they always prepared delicious meals and we had a great time… read more together.
The accommodation was good.
Saidi is a good guy, he explain me a lot about his culture, language and the local community. He was very protective and always giving best advices in terms of traveling in Africa.
But... there were some problems about money. There is written that he provides water and some hygienic stuff but it was missing and I always had to buy.
About working part, he present on the page various jobs, but some of them are missing. For example there are no animals, no computers/internet work, any tourists.Watch out about the raining season! If you are interested to work in the farm, you must come during or after the rainy season. I was there before the rainy season and I had no work at all, so my days were very loong.
Saidi is open for cultural exchange, he’s open to meet new people and new things about the world.
If you want to experience the African lifestyle is a worth place to be, but if you are interested in working, well, there is not so much to do.
In the end, thanks so much, Saidi for this experience!

J'ai passé deux semaines avec saidi et sa famille à here et ce fut une belle experience.
Avant de partir je souhaitais vraiment découvrir et vivre la vie africaine, grâce à Saidi j'ai trouvé ce que je recherchais et ai pu découvrir de nombreuses choses sur la culture et les traditions tanzanienne.
Sa famille est vraiment tres accueillante et agréable, j'ai toujours très bien mangé grâce à eux.
Les conditions de vie chez Saidi sont correctes.
Saidi est une belle personne, il a pris le temps de m'expliquer de nombreuses choses sur sa culture, sa langue et son village. Il a toujours fait en sorte que je sois en sécurité et m'a donné de bons conseils pour l'Afrique.
Néanmoins nous avons eu quelques différents, notamment au sujet de l'argent. Il est écrit sur son profil qu'il fournit le nécéssaire pour être confortable, j'ai dû payé l'eau et le nécessaire hygiénique. Concernant la partie du travail saidi présente de nombreuses possibilités sur son profil, aide avec les animaux, tourisme, aide avec l'ordinateur ou internet, ces parties sont complètement absentes. Enfin, si vous souhaitez vous rendre à pour l'agriculture, soyez vigilant à la saison que vous choisissez. J'y suis allée avant la saison des pluies et je n'ai pas travaillé une seule fois, les journées étaient donc très longues. Préférez donc partir pendant ou après la saison des pluies.
Saidi est assez ouvert pour les échanges culturels, il aime découvrir et apprendre notre façon de vivre.

Aussi, je recommande d'aller à pour l'ouverture culturelle et La participation à la vraie vie africaine mais je ne recommande pas si votre but est occuper activement vos journées.
