Ready for productive creativity?

Whether as a tourist, volunteer, traveler, craftsman, artist, storyteller, consultant, patron, partner, teacher or student you are all cordially invited to participate.

You want to go to Africa, Tanzania, Zanzibar?

Our place is located in the southernmost part of the archipelago's main island, 20 kilometres away from package holidays. Kizimkazi is still largely spared from mass tourism and, apart from the dolphin tours, a forgotten peaceful place, cut off from the rest of the modern world.
Salma lives here with her daughter Nadja and two young men Ramadan and Juma. These four make your stay homelike and pleasant. They cook and help you to buy personal items and other needs. This basis creates a lot of time for essential things.
The Garden of Wonders offers rudimentary accommodation for free use.
We can offer you a place to sleep and a family environment free of charge, but the Garden of Wonders can only pay for the physical well-being of those who live there.
Therefore, for water, food and organisation a contribution of 180.000 TSH (approx. 70€) per week has to be paid directly to the local manager Salma, and ONLY to Salma upon arrival.

What we want

We want everything to be treated with trust and respect.
Neither man, animal nor thing come to harm.
In case the damage is paid for without any problems.
We want the place to be respected. At the end of your stay the place should have received an added value. What this added value consists of is entirely up to you.
On the website under "projects", "open projects" are tasks that have to be tackled in any case, because they are essential for the place.
To tackle these tasks is always very helpful!
But it is about your imagination in the colourful puzzle of the garden of wonders. Accents, footnotes, collaboration in and on the garden of wonders.
But the most important thing is relaxation, joy and the pleasure of being.

What we do NOT want

We don't want alcohol consumption on the property.
It is also about the reputation in the village community, but the most important reason is the protection of the women and children on the property.
If there is a reason to celebrate, it is important to have a party. However, there must be special features, exceptions must be agreed with Salma.
