Internships in Cape Town, South Africa | Intern Abroad HQ

In the GIS & Reserve Management internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve in South Africa, I got to learn a lot of new things; from all the plants to the animals. It was an experience of a lifetime and I got to spend quality time with people from all over the world. The camp managers were super helpful and taught me so much. I can definitely thank them for fueling my love for wildlife. It was an amazing experience!

The Reserve Management & Research internship at the Kruger National Park in South Africa helped me to immerse myself with the culture and gain a better understanding of what it's like out there. I enjoyed being out in the South African bush. Intern Abroad HQ was able to support me with guidance all along my internship, from before I started up to all the way after. Very professional and quick service.

The GIS & Reserve Management internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve in South Africa has given me valuable experience with GIS software as it relates to wildlife conservation. I enjoyed working on a real-world project and getting to feel immersed in the reserve with all of the field work and being based within the reserve. I feel much more empowered in my field after gaining hands-on experience applying GIS to real conservation challenges, such as assessing the suitability of the reserve for black rhino reintroduction. Using GIS to analyse habitat conditions, map vegetation, and evaluate environmental threats gave me practical skills directly relevant to modern wildlife management. Beyond GIS, learning various field data collection techniques broadened my understanding of how spatial data is gathered and validated, which will be invaluable in future projects. Equally important was the opportunity to work alongside people from diverse backgrounds, which sharpened my communication and teamwork skills within an international conservation context.
