Work exchange opportunities in Africa with Worldpackers

How to work and travel in Africa?

There are many work exchange options for those interested in getting to know Africa up close. Considered the Cradle of Humanity and with a great cultural diversity, the continent has many adventures to offer and many things to teach. You can exchange work for accommodation in countries like Angola, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Tanzania or Senegal, just look for an opportunity that fits what you are looking for and apply for the open positions with the host!

Tips for Work Exchange in Africa

This is an awesome option for those that want to travel alone and experience intense cultural immersion since there is over two million years of history on the continent. Africa is the second most populated continent in the world and more than a thousand languages are spoken there, not including dialects. To take advantage of everything the region has to offer, countries like Angola, Egypt, Morocco, Senegal, or Ghana, are amazing options for working abroad.
