An enriching experience: My 4-week internship in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

My 4-week wildlife research internship in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, was an enriching experience that left a lasting impression. The opportunity to work alongside dedicated professionals in the field of wildlife conservation provided invaluable insights. Engaging in game drives and witnessing wildlife in their natural habitat was a highlight, significantly enhancing my understanding of conservation efforts. The people I met were welcoming and knowledgeable, making the learning process enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in gaining practical knowledge about wildlife and conservation.

My internship at ALERT was like witnessing a rare and magical event, like a blue moon. It was a beautiful journey from start to finish, and I don't regret a single moment of it. I want to thank Hanna, Tanaka, and Tay for being there to help and guide me throughout the internship. They made my experience truly remarkable. During my time at ALERT, I learned a lot about birds, elephants, lions, hyenas, and other wildlife. I discovered the challenges these animals face, which is very different from what we see on TV or the internet. The reality in Africa is eye-opening. I highly recommend the Wildlife internship in Zimbabwe to everyone. It's an opportunity to learn about wildlife and understand the real facts about their conservation and the issues they are dealing with. Overall, my internship journey at ALERT was an amazing and unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever.

The work environment, the location, the people and all the activites were amazing and i enjoyed my time to the fullest!
