South Africa Wildlife Conservation Short-Term Internship

The staff were extraordinary Chris Joubert, Franco Wentzel, Mark Spicer and Kim. Each staff member as individuals are wonderful people who are passionate about the work, which is refreshing to see. Additionally they are extremely positive and create an excellent environment to work and learn in. They also made day to day life so enjoyable and fun and it has been great to meet such good people who have become friends. On top of this the work was extremely interesting and something that I am very passionate about. The 2 weeks however, made that part of the trip limited - but gaining a general over view was very enjoyable!

The camp and staff were so friendly and helpful it really help to make the whole experience complete. The opportunity to get so close to wild animals and know that I was doing something that may help in the future (I believe the data is not used at present) was very rewarding. I also met and made some very good friends with whom I am still in touch. All in all it has given me a new take on life.

Location and base were superb. It was better than expected. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the camp. The staff were integral part and made for a brilliant overall experience. It was a pleasure to meet such enthusiastic and knowledgeable people. But by the same token, they proved perhaps that i was a little out of my depth.
