Maasai Mara Conservation Internship

This program runs for eight weeks with one week of virtual programming before departure from home and seven weeks in-country. The in-country portion of the internship starts at Brackenhurst, an eco-campus in Limuru, before spending the bulk of the placement in the Maasai Mara. The internship introduces students to biodiversity conservation in Kenya as they work alongside a local community conservation area in the development of ecological monitoring baselines. The interns will learn and become familiar with successful baselines developed in a neighboring conservancy and work as a team to replicate these successes in the newly developed Pardamat Conservation Area. Under the supervision and guidance of an EDU Africa facilitator, the academic mentor, and the conservation team at the Pardamat Conservation Area, interns will have the opportunity to learn and network with professionals working in the field of biodiversity conservation.
