Description
We are Leo and Nathasja, a tanzanian-dutch couple with two toddlers. Nathasja is working in the nearby hospital and Leo is running our pre- and primary school. We prefer a single traveller or a couple, because we can offer only one bedroom with ensuite bathroom. We eat together, mostly Tanzanian meals, sometimes European. In weekends you are free to discover the neighborhood! We live close to Lake Victoria, there are many waterfalls and beautifully hiking paths, and within one hour you can get some luxury in the town of Bukoba.
At our school, we employ five teachers, a guard and two matrons who are taking care of the pupils.Types of help and learning opportunities
