African Impact

Costs you

$1,950

Advertised 'from $1,950' for the Zambia teaching and community development project; per-duration pricing (2, 4, 8, 12 weeks) is NOT published on the project pages and must be requested, so the upper bound is unconfirmed. Project fees include accommodation, meals, project equipment and resources, arrival and departure transfers, 24/7 support and in-country orientation. EXPLICITLY EXCLUDED per African Impact: visa costs, travel insurance, private transfers, optional weekend activities, snacks and souvenirs. International airfare is also excluded and is substantial for southern and east Africa - realistically $1,100-$1,900 from the US. Visa costs for Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya typically run $50-$160. A four-week placement advertised at $1,950 is therefore realistically $3,300-$4,200 all-in. Low-season rates were offered for arrivals 1 December 2025 to 25 May 2026. Deposit amount not published. No scholarship program identified. Fundraising toolkits are provided rather than aid.

We take no commission if you enroll and have no relationship with the operator.

Structured volunteer and internship placements across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Zambia, Kenya, Mozambique, Malawi, Madagascar and the Seychelles, spanning wildlife conservation, teaching, community development and healthcare. Runs its own in-country bases rather than brokering placements.
