South Africa has everything you want in a travel destination. It has striking coast lines, majestic mountains, and wildlife-filled plains. It has vibrant cultures and charming villages. It also has cosmopolitan cities with a strong entrepreneurial culture. In this exciting setting, whether it’s in Cape Town, Johannesburg, or Kruger National Park, we invite you to join us. Check out our broad range of internships in South Africa!
We offer nonprofit internships in Livingstone, Zambia. This welcoming town has an incredible setting; it’s based on the banks of the Zambezi River, and just a stone’s throw away from the famous Victoria Falls. It’s also surrounded by African bush and roaming wildlife. This means that time off can be spent enjoying sun set cruises on the Zambezi, doing game drives in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, or simply admiring the incredible waterfall.
Ghana is a culturally vibrant place with welcoming, colourful communities. In the north of the country, in a beautiful rural area, we offer a permaculture internship. As an intern, you’ll enjoy a truly authentic experience, fully immersed in Ghanian culture and customs. During time off, there are plenty of travel highlights to explore in the area, like national parks and nature reserves.
Malawi is a country with great national beauty and wonderfully friendly people. Travel highlights include the stunning Lake Malawi, the dramatic Mount Mulanje, and Majete Wildlife Reserve. On the western shores of Lake Malawi, in the harbour town of Nkhata Bay, we offer a range of internships with nonprofit organisations. You’ll be based by the lake, and you’ll be working in welcoming rural villages.
Join us at one of two stunning internship destinations in Tanzania; Zanzibar or Moshi. Surrounded by the blue-green waters of the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar is a popular tropical island. But apart from its palm tree-lined sandy beaches, the island also offers a fascinating cultural experience, as it’s had a mesmerising mix of cultural influences during its rich history. In Tanzania’s mainland, you can join us in Moshi, a town on the foot of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro.
Kenya is a hugely popular travel destination – and with good reason. It has some of the continent’s best wildlife watching in nature reserves like the Masai Mara, stunning landscapes and views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and fascinating traditional tribes. We’re excited to offer you internships in Kisumu, a port city on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Uganda is a country of natural wonders. As a visitor, you can encounter Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Inpenetrable Forest, enjoy a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, or marvel at the impressive Lake Victoria. As an intern, there is a wealth of exciting places to explore. Our internships in Uganda are based in Mbarara, a city in the south of the country.
Blessed with great geographic variety and a wealth of wildlife, Zimbabwe is a brilliant destination for nature enthusiasts. It’s also a wonderfully friendly place.
