Accommodations
All the accommodations are in the heart of Stone Town, and are located within close proximity from each other. The furthest two points (Stone Town House and Park Hyatt hotel) are within 5 minutes walk from each other.
Our female travellers usually stay in our very own NomuHub Hostel while male travellers in a different one. The common area in our NomuHub Hostel can be used by all travellers.
We also offer 4 star and 5 star hotel upgrades with our accommodation partners, either in single room or twin-sharing basis. You may book these as add-ons in your booking process, but please note that confirmation of your reservation is subject to availability. During peak seasons in Zanzibar, it can be very difficult to secure a reservation so the earlier you book, the better.
Meals
There are many heterogeneous influences that are reflected in Zanzibar’s cuisine due to the multicultural nature that became a part of Zanzibar. The mixture of culinary traditions include Bantu, Arab, Portuguese, Indian, British and even Chinese cuisines.
The goal is to support education by enabling a suitable environment with the required facilities for schools. This trip will focus on supporting education through Construction, and will include building the foundation with cement, concrete and blocks, as well as drawing art on the walls.
STUDENT5 : 5% off for students (Student ID must be provided as proof, otherwise discount is not applicable)
GROUP5 : 5% for each member of a group of 3 or more (if less than 3, discount is not applicable)

- It's important that you visit a health practitioner and inform them about your travel plans for health-related recommendations. We advice the Yellow Fever vaccination to be done at least one week before your travel date. We also recommend travellers to take anti-mosquito measures (insect repellent, wear long-sleeved tops & bottoms).
- Finally, please remember that booking flights is your responsibility. We recommend FlyDubai as they offer conveniently direct flight journeys at an affordable price. You can read more about exact dates you should book your flights, how to send them to us etc. in our Manual.

Reviews & Testimonials
Hear from our Volunteers

Alison Rosser
It was the toughest but most rewarding and defiantly the most fulfilling time traveling I have ever had.

Jack Nassour
The work was tough somehow and unusual for me but the fact that we are contributing in building children’s future by constructing their classroom was enough to wave all the tiredness.

Ali Mazaal
I loved my week trip with NomuHub because I met like-minded individuals who took their volunteering work seriously. Working hard everyday was important to me, but it was also a fun and enjoyable experience!

Ahmed Eldigair
In my 2 weeks of volunteering, I made multiple new friends, created unforgettable memories, and surprisingly, received more than I could ever give to the Zanzibari community.

Salma Maatouk
It's very difficult to put into words how one feels about such an experience; it teaches and changes you in so many ways.

Aisha Fakhro
We were fortunate to get to experience the best of both worlds, being immersed in volunteer work that leaves something of value behind, and then exploring Zanzibar as tourists later in the day.
