My International Work Experience in Cape Town, 2022

During my stay, I had the privilege of being accompanied by Magister, who helped me find accommodation and two internships. Thanks to the organization, I was able to take part in many activities and meet people in the same situation as me, making friends who became family over time. From the beach to the Cape of Good Hope, from the Kruger Park to parachute jumping, the Magister network will do everything to make your stay unforgettable.

Amazing time with amazing people!

I had such an amazing time with amazing people! Great accommodation and Nicky is such a kind hearted person who is always there to help! To experience South Africa, meet new people and new cultures I would recommend to everyone!

Great experience in South-Africa

The living situation in South-Africa was amazing. The restaurants & beaches in Cape Town were great, as were the many possibilities to travel along the garden route or to kruger park. Also the arranged activities from magister were nice to participate in. All in all my time in South Africa was great but the internship place itself was a little bit less enjoyable, but it didn’t withold me from having the best time in my life!

My south african journey

I had the best time ever in South Africa. I came there for school and enjoyed every minute overthere. Nicky is the kindest person I ever met. When I broke she took care of everything. Visited me in the hospital, drove taxi for me when needed and contacted me every day. I would advise everyone to join magister.
