- Professionalism and excellent communication skills 
- Interest in East Africa’s indigenous cultures and traditions

- Humility. We require individuals joining our growing organization combine leadership skills with humor, patience and a humble approach to service

Other Details 
- Minimum 3-month commitment

Work, With A Side of ADVENTURE

As you experience life in a remote tribal community and explore Tanzania’s scenery and wildlife, it is difficult not to fall in love with the country and its people. 
Mungere Village is nestled in Africa’s Great Rift Valley, a short distance from Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti Plains and other unique destinations. 
Travel further from the village to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro or relax on the beaches of Zanzibar Island.
