The Cradle of Humankind, the Rainbow Nation, and one of the best internship destinations in Africa!
This is where Roots began, so we have our bias, but simply put, South Africa has it all. Sprawling cities thriving with vibrant and varied cultures, rolling expanses of savannah populated by rare, iconic wildlife, stunning coastlines, staggering mountains, a unique, important history, and, best of all, a whole host of exciting internship possibilities.
This country is home to so many remarkable organizations doing vital work for worthwhile causes. Whether you’re passionate about female empowerment, community uplift, education, human rights, or eco-conservation, there is meaningful work to which you can contribute. What’s more, these organizations offer valuable opportunities for professional development.
Our South Africa internships place you with experts in their profession, grant you their mentorship, and allow you the chance to learn alongside them in the field. There aren’t many countries where the exchange between what an intern can gain and what they can give is as fruitful as in South Africa.
