Biodiversity Camp Coordinator Internship

You'll support the planning and delivery of biodiversity camps for visiting school groups — designing activities and resources, assisting with marketing materials, and reaching out to prospective schools. No two camps are the same, and your creativity and initiative will be genuinely valued. You'll also contribute to clubs and wider school life, making this a varied and rewarding role throughout your placement.

Accommodation is provided in one of Luderitz's historic buildings — a boarding house or guesthouse — all within walking distance of school. Expect a close community atmosphere, and stunning views of the South Atlantic coast.

Namibia is one of the safest countries in Africa, and Luderitz is one of its safest towns — a small, close-knit community with very low crime. There is no malaria or tropical disease risk, and the South Atlantic keeps the climate mild year-round: never too hot, never too cold.

Luderitz is a nature-lover's dream — flamingos, springbok, oryx, and the elusive brown hyena on your doorstep. Visit the ghost town of Kolmanskop, take a boat trip to Shearwater Bay's kelp forest, or brave the (cold) South Atlantic. Enjoy camping, hiking, braais with colleagues, or a night out at the local bars. During school breaks, many interns road trip through the Namib. There is nowhere else like it on Earth.

Open to adults of any age and all nationalities. Well suited to graduates in ecology, environmental science, biology, or education, as well as conservation professionals, experienced educators, and retired naturalists. No specific qualification is required — a passion for the natural world, creativity, and the enthusiasm to inspire young people are what matter most.
