of our Tanzanian friends do not have electricity or phones, or other comfort items that we

nights are chilly. The area also has plenty of water and has a very
beautiful landscape.

remaining cost will be incidentals while traveling.
We will schedule Team Member meetings to prepare you for the Mission
Trip to Tanzania and we will cover everything that you will need to know and what to bring
with you. You will be prepared for the trip!
