The GIS & Reserve Management internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve was great! I saw everything I wanted to see and learned a lot about QGIS. Learning all of the plants was unexpectedly my favorite part. It was an amazing way to experience the unique mix of flora and fauna in one of the most diverse and rare ecosystems in the world.

I absolutely loved the GIS & Reserve Management internship and the memories I have gained from it will remain with me for life! Gaining proficiency in another software for GIS will greatly help me in my potential future field of work and has boosted my confidence in GIS. My knowledge has deepened and I am more likely to search out for GIS jobs as I feel more qualified for them and ready to take them on. Getting to take part in assisting the management of a game reserve was super fun and incredibly rewarding. It was great that I got to take part in such fun activities whilst also developing my QGIS skills in a way that was informative and enjoyable!

I really enjoyed diving in such a rich marine environment and learning about all the different species that existed there for my Marine Biology & Reef Conservation internship in South Africa. This experience greatly broadened my view of the world and of life in general, and has motivated me to do more meaningful and beautiful things in the future. I also received good support as any questions I had during the planning stage were answered very kindly and on short notice.
