Building a Future in Marine Science with my internship in South Africa

February 10, 2026by: Vilda Reinius

Program: Most Affordable Environmental Internships in South Africa

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.

I want to thank you and your team for helping me get to my GIS & Reserve Management internship in South Africa and fulfill a lifelong dream. I loved every second of my time in the Gondwana Game Reserve and it applied directly to my career goals. The internship exceeded my expectations. The people are fantastic, the wildlife incredible, and the experience gained unmatched. It was truly an unmatched and unforgettable experience.

The Reserve Management & Research internship at the Kruger National Park in South Africa was awesome! It definitely exceeded my expectations and was very good! Seeing the wildlife is incredible but the things you learn really make the experience. The more you understand the ecological processes you are witnessing the more you can appreciate how special it all is.
