AWARD-WINNING Volunteer & Internship Projects in Africa

Unlike many volunteering organizations, at African Impact we aim to include as many costs associated with volunteering within the project fee that we advertise. The project fee for all of our projects include;

• Accommodation
• Meals
• Project equipment & resources
• Arrival & departure transfers

Costs not included in the advertised project fees are;

• Visa costs & travel insurance
• Private transfers
• Optional weekend activities
• Snacks & souvenirs

English is the most prevalent language across all of our projects. It is how you will communicate with our teams at the bases, and may even be how you communicate with community members during interactions. Our project coordinators are versed in multiple local languages, depending on where they are based, and will always be able to provide translations if necessary. 

For Teaching Volunteer projects, you will be required to have a good level of English in order to teach learners whose first language is not English.

Internships run from a minimum of 4 weeks onwards and most available internships require you to have some level of existing experience. Please refer to the Participant Requirements section of the internship project pages for more details.

Most of our volunteers embark on their journey solo, though we also welcome group bookings. Given the popularity of our projects and our limited start dates, it’s quite common for multiple volunteers to arrive simultaneously. This shared arrival often fosters an immediate sense of camaraderie among participants. You’ll likely find yourself in the company of fellow volunteers from diverse backgrounds, all eager to begin their African Impact experience.

It would be advisable to check with your local embassy, or government website of the country you plan on visiting. Our team of Destination Specialists are also able to assist you and provide guidance if you require it.
