A different kind of adventure combining travel, culture and volunteering
There are trips that stay in photographs… and others that change you from within.
The Interrail concept has been conquering Europe for years: backpacks, trains, spontaneous routes, new cities and that feeling of absolute freedom. But at Cooperating Volunteers we wanted to go one step further and create a completely different version, much more authentic, transformative and human: the first Interrail through East Africa.
A route designed for those who dream of discovering Africa in a different way. Not only by visiting incredible places, but by living real experiences alongside local communities, connecting with other cultures and becoming part of daily life in some of the most fascinating destinations on the continent.
For 15 days you will travel through some of the most impressive places in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, with all the logistics organized so that your only concern is enjoying the experience.
Because yes, venturing through Africa can seem complicated when trying to organize it independently. Transportation, connections, accommodation, safety, coordination between countries… But that is exactly where this journey was born: so you can experience the African adventure with the peace of mind of having everything prepared and supported at every stage.
A route designed to discover the essence of East Africa
The journey begins on the paradise beaches of Diani Beach, on the coast of Kenya. White sand, turquoise waters and endless palm trees will welcome you to an adventure that goes far beyond conventional tourism.
From there, the route continues to Nairobi, a vibrant city where tradition and modernity constantly coexist. Later, you will cross into Tanzania to discover Arusha, the gateway to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Africa. Then comes Dar es Salaam, a lively city facing the Indian Ocean, and finally the trip ends in Zanzibar, one of the most magical and special destinations in the world.
Each stop has something unique. Each city brings a completely different energy. And that is precisely what makes this African Interrail such a special experience.
Much more than tourism
What truly sets this trip apart from any other organized route is that it combines adventure and tourism with volunteering experiences.
It is not only about visiting beautiful places. It is about connecting with them.
In Diani Beach, for example, you will be able to live an experience linked to sea turtle conservation, participating in projects related to the protection of these species and the care of the marine ecosystem.
In Arusha or Zanzibar, you will also have the opportunity to take part in community experiences and closely discover the local reality, sharing time with communities, learning from their culture and understanding another way of life.
And that is exactly where the magic happens.
Because when a journey includes real human experiences, it stops being just a vacation and becomes something much deeper.
The comfort of traveling with all logistics organized
One of the biggest fears when traveling through several African countries is organization. Schedules, transportation, connections between cities, accommodation or cultural barriers can create insecurity for many people.
That is why this experience is designed so you can enjoy the adventure without worrying about logistics.
The program includes:
- Accommodation with breakfast throughout the entire route.
- Airport pick-up and transfer.
- Pick-up in every city included in the itinerary.
- All transportation tickets included.
- Journeys by train, luxury bus and ferry.
- Assistance and coordination in every destination.
- Personalized support before the trip to answer questions and help with all preparations.
Everything is coordinated so the experience feels comfortable, safe and smooth, without losing the adventurous essence of a true Interrail.
Because you will still feel that excitement of constantly moving, discovering new places and living the beautiful uncertainty of not knowing what landscape awaits you tomorrow… only with the peace of mind of having support and organization behind it.
What is not included
So that each traveler can adapt the trip to their preferences and budget, there are some services that are not included in the program:
- International flights.
- Lunches and dinners.
- Activities not mentioned in the official itinerary.
- Travel insurance.
- Required visas for each country.
Even so, at Cooperating Volunteers we also help manage both flights and travel insurance, as well as answer any questions related to documentation, vaccines or preparation before departure.
A trip designed for those looking for something different
This African Interrail is not designed only for people who love traveling. It is designed for those who want to feel that travel gives them something more.
For those who prefer authentic experiences over mass tourism.
For those who want to step out of their routine and discover other realities.
For those looking for adventure, but also human connection.
And for those who have dreamed of Africa for years, but do not know where to start.
Because traveling through several African countries by land, crossing borders, sleeping in front of the Indian Ocean, sharing moments with local communities and ending in the beaches of Zanzibar is an experience difficult to explain with words.
It is one of those journeys remembered for a lifetime.
Africa is experienced differently
There is something special about East Africa.
In its landscapes. In its energy. In its people. In the way everything feels more intense and more real.
And perhaps that is why this trip feels unlike any other.
It is not a traditional tourist circuit.
It is not a luxury trip disconnected from the destination.
And it is not a conventional volunteering program either.
It is the perfect mix of adventure, discovery, culture and human experiences.
A different Interrail.
An African Interrail.
An experience that will probably change the way you travel forever.
