Warning!

Travellers, news sources, and local people say that the Northwest, Southwest, and Far East parts of Africa have some safety concerns due to political issues. Before you go, learn about the places you plan to visit. Stay safe and stay away from risky areas!

We suggest the following countries in Africa for volunteering and travel

How to use this page:

  • Send a message and wait to hear back.
About Volunteering in Africa

Some volunteer programs give free food and accommodation. Others might ask you to help pay for these. Africa has places that are still growing, so not all volunteer projects can be free.
If you only have a little time but want to help, you might choose volunteer programs that cost money. This way, you’re helping with what you can do and also with money. It’s often better than staying in a hotel run by companies from other countries.

No Middleman Fees

We don’t profit from your decision to volunteer with these organizations. Your money and donations go directly to these African organizations. That’s why, without any intermediary costs, the volunteer fees, when required, are lower.
