What Our Volunteers Say
Real stories from volunteers who found purpose, connection and unforgettable moments through our programs.
Netherlands
There is not one specific thing but many things that i enjoyed during my stay in South Africa. I actually enjoyed every single moment of the experience. The weekends away were also so good. I loved the project and the work we done.
Germany
To look at the different lives of people and children in the townships and compare them to others. To help the children and have fun with them and others. I really enjoyed Addo, the meals and the wildlife.
Spain
Feeding the penguins really was the highlight! And I never thought routine would be so much fun. All because of the adorable penguins! These creatures do bite, but it's easy to forgive them. Great service from Khaya Volunteer Projects, from booking to service while in Port Elizabeth.
France
spent an amazing month volunteering at SANCCOB Port Elizabeth with the African penguins. I learned so many new things about conservation and animal care while also improving my English every day. The SANCCOB team is truly wonderful and always supportive. I was warmly welcomed and felt very well integrated with the other volunteers, which made the experience even more rewarding. An unforgettable adventure that I highly recommend!
Canada
I stayed 2 weeks in Bambelela in June-July 2022. It was amazing! People there are so nice and we have plenty of monkey time. The tasks to do are easy but so helpful for them! An experience of a life! I’ll always remember my beautiful monkeys there! 🐒💖🐒💖
Netherlands
I enjoyed the weekend outing trips and tours that we went on with all the other volunteers including Jeff and Arlene. The company did well when arranging this. I also met so many nice people.
Medical Volunteering in Zanzibar, Tanzania
Medical volunteering in Zanzibar, Tanzania offers a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience while supporting local communities. Volunteers gain insight into healthcare systems, patient care, and community outreach in a unique island setting.
Our healthcare programs are designed to be meaningful, responsible, and educational. You will work alongside local professionals, develop your understanding of healthcare in a different cultural context, and contribute in a supportive way.
If you are a student, graduate, or someone looking for a meaningful medical experience abroad, volunteering in Zanzibar allows you to combine learning, travel, and positive impact.
At Go With Khaya, our Medical & Healthcare programs are designed for those who believe that quality care is a universal right. We offer students and professionals the unique opportunity to step out of traditional clinical settings and into the heart of Africa’s healthcare systems. By working alongside local doctors and nurses, you gain invaluable insight into the challenges and triumphs of providing medical support in developing regions.
Whether you are shadowing surgeons in a historic Stone Town hospital, assisting in rural clinics, or supporting specialized care centers, your presence helps alleviate the pressure on overstretched facilities. These projects are more than just a medical elective; they are a journey of cultural exchange where you exchange skills, build resilience, and contribute to the long-term health and wellbeing of the communities we serve.
