They will also visit two local schools, a state school and a private one, to compare the education of the pupils and visit a safe house for victims of domestic and sexual abuse.
After their visit the students are hoping to further develop links between the UK and Africa with the possibility of students from Tanzania visiting the UK.
A spokesman for the students said: “We would like to thank all the customers for their generosity and kind words of support.”
