Working with you to build your group’s life-changing experience
We specialise in offering bespoke volunteering opportunities to groups. With so many opportunities to choose from, we will work with you to create a life changing experience that makes a real impact in communities abroad. Whether you’re a youth group, scout group or group of friends, we can work with you to build your perfect life-changing experience. Unlike most other expedition providers we do not simply partner with another organisation abroad but run everything on the ground in Tanzania. Therefore we are able to create you a truly bespoke expedition.
Unique tailor-made experiences
We are able to offer unique tailor-made experiences as we do not pass you on to other partners who will often be rigid in what they can offer. Because we (Green Light Ventures Tanzania) run the operations and projects in-country, we are able to be creative and flexible with your expedition to meet the needs and goals of you group. We offer the opportunity to match your interest with the projects that we run.
Working together throughout your trip
We offer to come and meet your group to discuss options, develop ideas and work through itineraries together. We offer pre-departure support which includes;
Face to face expedition ‘Plan together’ discussion
Pre departure briefing to your group/parents/leaders from your Expedition Leader
Fundraising ideas and support
Continual communication support and advice from the U.K. team
