Worldschooling Tanzania

Designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of Tanzania, Amani Light Wellness Eco Site provides a unique and comfortable base for your family’s adventure.

Sustainable Comfort in the Heart of Tanzania

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and vibrant culture of Moshi, Tanzania, at Amani Light Wellness Eco Retreat. Nestled in the Kilimanjaro region, our off-grid eco site with family cottages offers families a chance to step into the rhythm of Tanzanian life, connect with nature, and grow through shared experiences.

A True Taste of Tanzania

We strive to give families a true taste of Tanzania, the lifestyle, the culture, the perspective. Most families in our village do not have running water to their homes, they walk up to 10 km to the road which hosts the nearest tap. We do have access to water on site, but we do our best to conserve it, thus is does not run through taps on our property. We are of the mind that a little stretching out of the comfort zone can help us all to grow in character. However, we do this with the utmost mind to safety, and the limits of a family with young children.

Our water is sourced from a localized tank, and we provide free boiled and filtered drinking water. Bottled water is also available for purchase. Electricity runs 24/7, powered entirely by solar energy.
