Free Time in Rural Kilimanjaro

As part of your CCS volunteer program, you’ll have ample free time to explore the community, the greater Kilimanjaro region, and even other regions in Tanzania.

During the afternoons, you can visit indigenous Maasai tribal villages, located 15 minutes away, just at the bottom of the hill. Also, a small internet cafe is easily accessible from the CCS Home-Base. On Tuesdays and Saturdays the Traveling Market comes to the village, showcasing fresh fruits, colorful batiks, Maasai beads and more. If you enjoy walking, you may want to spend an afternoon hiking a local waterfall or simply visiting the neighbors in town.

On weekends, visits to nearby Moshi town are possible, about 30 minutes away by bus. You can also travel to Arusha, the safari gateway of Tanzania, which is an hour bus ride from the village.

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is recommended after your program, as the climb may take a week for most travelers.
